Korean export growth stalls

South Korean exports were still up in September, but the country's rate of growth has slowed and the semiconductor export sector has dropped 4.2 per cent.

The country's Q2 result was 3.4 per cent growth, its poorest result for seven quarters and a survey of Korean exporters has shown two thirds expect to miss targets for this year, owing to weaker demand and high volatility.
