韩国出口因用于驱动人工智能的芯片需求激增而飙升至月度纪录高位。
South Korea’s exports have surged to a monthly record amid explosive demand for chips used to power artificial intelligence.
海关周四发布的初步数据显示，9月出口同比激增83.5%，达到1209亿美元，超过了6月创下的1022.5亿美元月度纪录。
Exports jumped 83.5 percent year-on-year to $120.9bn in September, eclipsing the previous monthly record of $102.25bn set in June, preliminary customs figures showed on Thursday.
根据韩国关税厅数据，芯片出口占出口总额近半，飙升逾260%至603亿美元。
Chip shipments accounted for nearly half of exports, soaring more than 260 percent to $60.3bn, according to data from the Korea Customs Service.

韩国产业通商资源部长官金正宽在声明中表示：“这再次证明了我国产业和企业的实力，是企业家们在全球市场激烈竞争中流汗努力的成果。”
“This is a valuable achievement that once again demonstrates the strength of our industries and companies, and is thanks to the sweat and efforts of our entrepreneurs who have competed fiercely in the global market,” said Kim Jeong-kwan, South Korea’s minister for trade and industry, in a statement.
金正宽表示：“虽然我们预计今年出口将达到1万亿美元，但全球保护主义抬头和中东局势紧张仍是影响我国出口的主要变数。”因用于AI的存储芯片全球短缺，韩国经济今年异常火爆。
“While we expect to achieve $1 trillion in annual exports, the strengthening of global protectionism and tensions in the Middle East remain major variables affecting our exports,” Kim said. South Korea’s economy has been running red-hot this year amid a global shortage of memory chips used in AI.
