South Korea's export volume rose for the third consecutive month last month.

According to the latest data from the Bank of Korea(BOK) on Tuesday, the export volume index jumped five-point-seven percent on-year in November, continuing the three-month streak.

Outbound shipments of computers, electronics and optical instruments increased 12-point-two percent, chemical products by 12-point-six percent, and electrical equipment by 16-point-five percent, reflecting the nontact working environment.

Due to a decline in oil prices, exports of coal and petroleum products dropped 27-point-nine percent, while those of machinery and equipment fell 12-point-seven percent.

The export amount index rebounded from an on-year three-point-five percent contraction in October to a three-point-eight percent expansion, thanks to an upswing in shipments of semiconductors, medicine and medical supplies, and electronic goods.

The import volume index also surged nine-point-one percent on-year, rising for the third straight month in November, while the import amount index dipped point-six percent, carrying on an eight-month streak.
