The current account surplus in March fell to a preliminary US$9.32 billion from a revised US$10.77 billion in February, the Bank of Korea data showed. It was still higher than an average surplus of US$7.92 billion for the past one year.
In the financial account, Asia's fourth-largest economy saw a net outflow of US$11.02 billion in March, sharply up from an outflow of US$5.54 billion in February, the data showed.
