Meanwhile, imports also climbed to a record high, highlighting global collaboration within the AI supply chain. Electrical machinery exports rose 12 percent, benefiting from spillover demand from the AI sector and US infrastructure projects. South Korea also reported robust trade results, with exports last month reaching a record US$86.13 billion on strong global demand for memory chips.
