S. Korea sees current account surplus for 17th straight month in September

9월 경상수지 100.7억달러, 17개월 연속흑자…운송수지 역대최대

South Korea posted a current account surplus for the 17th straight month in September.
The Bank of Korea said on Friday that the surplus came to around 10-point-1 billion U.S. dollars,... a slight increase from a month ago.
But it was down slightly on-year.
This was mainly due to a drop in the goods account as imports rose on-year by some 26 percent.
Exports were also up by 15 percent.
Meanwhile, services saw a smaller deficit than a year ago, thanks to a record surplus of around 2 billion dollars from the transport sector.
