한중일 포함 주요 수출국 수출 감소전환
Major exporters have seen a decline in shipments in recent months, including South Korea, whose exports fell in January for a second month in a row.
According to the trade ministry, Korea's exports in January fell 5-point-8 percent from a year earlier... to a little under 46-point-4 billion U.S. dollars.
They had also fallen in December by 1-point-3 percent.
The downturn is mainly attributed to decling semiconductor prices, a slowdown in the global economy and the U.S.-China trade war.
In December, China's exports were down more than 4 percent in December,... Japan's were down 3-point-8 percent... and several European countries were down the past couple of months too.
