South Korea’s current account surplus expanded significantly in March 2026, underscoring strengthening external balances in Asia’s fourth-largest economy. The surplus rose to 37.33 billion in March from 23.19 billion in February 2026, according to data updated on 7 May 2026.

The sharp month-on-month increase highlights a robust improvement compared with February, when the current account had already been in solid surplus territory. While detailed drivers behind the March jump were not disclosed in the available data, the headline figures point to a notable strengthening of South Korea’s external position at the close of the first quarter of 2026.

The latest reading will likely draw close attention from investors and policymakers tracking South Korea’s trade dynamics and overall balance-of-payments health, especially against the backdrop of shifting global demand and currency market movements.
