South Korea’s trade balance showed a marginal improvement in May 2026, with the surplus rising to 27.04 billion from 26.95 billion previously, according to data updated on 15 June 2026. The figures indicate that the country maintained a solid external position over the period, with only a slight month-on-month increase in its trade surplus.

While the change is modest, the continued surplus suggests that export performance remained broadly resilient relative to imports. The stability in the trade balance may help underpin South Korea’s current account position and could be viewed as a supportive factor for the won and the broader macroeconomic outlook, assuming global demand conditions remain steady.
