South Korean Exports Soar in October Amid Global AI Demand

South Korea's exports surged by 93.7% in October 2026, marking the largest increase in over 50 years. This significant growth is primarily driven by robust global demand for AI investment, leading to a 259.4% jump in semiconductor shipments and a 496.6% spike in computer sales for AI services. This trend positions the nation to potentially reach US$1 trillion in annual exports.
