South Korea posted its biggest current account surplus on record in February as booming semiconductor exports lifted the goods balance before the Iran war began to ripple through energy markets and global shipping. The current account surplus reached $23.2 billion in February, the biggest monthly surplus on record, according to Bank of Korea data released Wednesday. The goods balance alone posted a record $23.4 billion surplus, as exports jumped almost 30% from a year earlier, far outpacing the 4% increase in imports. The figures offer a snapshot of the economy before the full impact of the Middle East conflict began to emerge. The Iran war started toward the end of February, so the month’s balance-of-payments data likely captured only limited effects from the jump in oil prices and broader supply-chain disruptions that have since amplified risks for South Korea’s trade-dependent economy. Exports were led by semiconductors, while information-communication devices also extended gains. By contrast, shipments of chemical products, machinery and precision equipment and passenger cars turned negative, the BOK said. The services account remained in deficit, posting a $1.86 billion shortfall led by travel and processing services, while the primary income account recorded a $2.48 billion surplus mainly on dividend income. February marked South Korea’s 34th straight month of current-account surpluses, the second-longest such streak since the starts of the 2000s, the central bank said. The financial account showed a net asset increase of $22.8 billion, with Koreans continuing to invest abroad, while foreign investors reduced holdings of domestic stocks.

Approved by parliament on Friday, the law takes aim at an industry estimated to generate up to US$19 billion annually and to have trafficked as many as 200,000 workers into compounds across the country.
