South Korea's export boom faces legislative hurdles

South Korea's exports hit a record high in February, driven by a semiconductor boom, but legislative delays risk undermining this momentum. The nation's February exports reached $67.4 billion, with chip exports surging 160% due to increased AI investment and rising memory chip prices. However, other sectors like automobiles saw declines. Lawmakers are urged to pass legislation supporting a U.S. investment plan to prevent further trade friction and mitigate risks from global instability and oil price hikes.
