President Lee Jae-myung shared on social media that South Korea's cumulative exports this year have surpassed last year's record annual export figures, according to a report from the Customs Service.
On September 5, President Lee posted on X (formerly Twitter) with the title, 'Report from Customs Service Commissioner Lee Jong-wook.'
Commissioner Lee stated in his report, "This year's cumulative exports have reached $709.4 billion, exceeding last year's total annual exports of $709.3 billion. This milestone was achieved 117 days earlier than last year, in just 248 days."
He added, "Despite uncertainties in the trade environment, including rising protectionism, global supply chain restructuring, and the situation in the Middle East, our exports continue to show remarkable growth. If the current strong trend continues, we expect to achieve $1 trillion in annual exports by early December."
