FX.co ★ South Korea’s Export Prices Accelerate in June, Year-on-Year Gain Rises to 48.9%

South Korea’s Export Price Index rose 48.9% year-on-year in June 2026, up from a 47.1% increase in May 2026, according to data updated on 14 July 2026. The figures compare price changes in each month to the same month a year earlier.

The latest reading signals that export price growth continued to accelerate at the end of the second quarter, extending already elevated year-on-year gains. The move from 47.1% to 48.9% suggests persistent pricing pressures in South Korea’s export sector, a key driver of the country’s overall economic performance.
