SEOUL, South Korea’s exports are expected to improve in the first quarter of 2024 backed by improved shipment conditions for semiconductors, automobiles and smartphones, a trade body said Wednesday.<\/P>
The Korea International Trade Association (KITA) said its export business survey index (EBSI) came to 97.2 for the January-March period next year, up from the 90.2 reading for the fourth quarter of 2023.<\/P>
A reading below 100 means pessimists outnumber optimists, while a reading above the benchmark means the opposite. The survey was carried out on around 2,000 exporting companies.<\/P>
KITA said it anticipates improved export conditions for semiconductors, automobiles and related components, as well as for smartphones and related parts for the period.<\/P>
The association, however, expected negative export conditions for petroleum-related products in the first three months of 2024 due to factors, such as a decline in international oil prices and volatility in the foreign exchange market.<\/P>
