Exports from Japan to S. Korea down 23.1% y/y in October

日, 10월 韓수출 23% 급감...불매운동 영향 탓 Japan's exports to South Korea dropped sharply last month amid escalating tensions between the two nations. Tokyo's finance ministry says Japan's shipments to South Korea in October were down some 23 percent on-year to around 3-point-5 billion U.S. dollars. In particular, food, automobiles and semiconductors saw large declines. Exports have fallen due mainly to a South Korean boycott of Japanese goods stemming from Tokyo's trade restrictions and historical disputes. Japan saw its trade surplus with South Korea tumble by more than 41 percent on-year last month. #Export #Japan #trade Arirang News Facebook:   / arirangtvnews
