SEOUL (Reuters) – South Korea’s exports for the first 20 days of February fell 7.8% from the same period the year before, customs agency data showed on Wednesday.

On average per working day, exports rose 9.9%, as there were fewer working days due to the timing difference in the Lunar New Year holidays.
