Exports y/y reflect changes in the exports of goods and services in South Korea in the given month compared to the same month of the previous year. Information on exports is used in the evaluation of South Korea's foreign trade activity and the demand for goods of South Korean manufacturers outside the country. A higher than expected reading is seen as positive for the South Korean won quotes.
