Export from South Korea is growing despite of escalation of trade war between the US and China, Bloomberg reports. Shipments showed the highest growth in a year during first twenty days of September.

Export volumes grew by 22% compared with the same period last year. As usual, leading export goods include semiconductors, petroleum products and cars.

These data indicate that US-China trade conflict has very weak influence on real economy, economists think. Export to China rose by 29%, export to the US increased by 18,6%.

South Korean export gained 8,7% in August. This was the highest number in three months.
