Exports of information and communications technology(ICT) products jumped more than 20 percent year-on-year in November, posting the highest monthly figure on record. 

According to data from the Ministry of Science and ICT on Sunday, ICT exports rose 24-point-three percent from a year earlier to 25-point-four billion U.S. dollars in November, marking the tenth consecutive month of growth amid a semiconductor boom and a recovery in global demand for ICT devices.

November’s performance is the strongest on record, with September’s figure of 25-point-four billion dollars standing in second place and October’s 23-point-three billion dollars coming in third.

Chip exports surged 38-point-six percent on-year to an all-time high of 17-point-two billion dollars, leading the overall growth in ICT exports.

ICT imports rose two-point-seven percent on-year to 12-point-seven billion dollars, resulting in a record trade surplus of nearly 12-point-seven billion dollars.
