Korea posts 37.33 billion dollar current account surplus in March 2026

Korea's current account registered a surplus of 37.33 billion dollars in March 2026, the Bank of Korea reported on May 7 in its preliminary balance of payments release.

On the financial account, net assets increased by 36.99 billion dollars over the same month, per the central bank — the counterpart flow that typically mirrors a current account surplus of that scale.

The component breakdown — goods, services, and primary and secondary income balances — was not included in the material reviewed, nor were comparisons to February 2026 or to March of the prior year.

The figures are official central bank data but carry the preliminary designation, meaning they are subject to revision in subsequent releases. The Bank of Korea's detailed tables remain the reference for the underlying composition of the surplus.
