SEOUL, Oct 1, 2019, Yonhap. South Korea’s exports sank 11.7 percent in September from a year earlier, extending their slump to a 10th consecutive month, data showed Tuesday, hurt by still weak prices of semiconductors and the yearlong trade row between the United States and China, reported The Korea Herald.

Imports fell 5.6 percent on-year last month to $38.7 billion, the ministry added.
