South Korea's current account surplus posted 2.26 billion U.S. dollars in May due to brisk exports, the central bank said Tuesday.
The surplus reached 2.26 billion dollars in May, up from a revised 1.28 billion dollars the previous month, the Bank of Korea (BOK) said in a monthly report.
The May reading marked a surplus for the 15th consecutive month since March 2010, helped by strong exports which account for about 50 percent of the South Korean economy.
The current account is the broadest measure of international trade, including goods, services and investment income.
