南韓經常帳順差逼近台灣 半導體出口成關鍵推手

Quick Look

南韓經常帳順差占GDP比重因半導體出口強勁快速成長,已從去年落後台灣10.5個百分點縮小至今年僅3.4個百分點。多家國際投行上調南韓預測,野村、高盛、花旗等預估南韓比重達16%以上,摩根大通更預測南韓今年將反超台灣。南韓1至7月經常帳順差達2330.9億美元,半導體出口1至8月成長169.6%,佔總出口40.6%,累計出口已超過去年全年紀錄。

Why It Matters

南韓經常帳順差過去主要受經濟衰退推動,但近期受惠於AI帶動的半導體需求復甦,出口強勁成長導致經常帳盈餘顯著增加,縮小與台灣的差距。

〔財經頻道/綜合報導〕在人工智慧(AI)帶動晶片需求狂飆下,南韓經常帳順差占GDP比重快速逼近台灣。韓媒報導,若以同時預測台韓的6家國際投行平均值來看,南韓與台灣在「經常帳順差占GDP比重」上的差距,已從去年的10.5個百分點,大幅縮小至今年的3.4個百分點。因此,已有華爾街投行預測,南韓今年可能超車台灣,主要就是看好半導體出口前景,讓這場原本差距不小的台韓競賽突然出現變化。

韓媒指出,南韓今年1至7月經常帳順差已達2330.9億美元,接近2025全年1230.5億美元的兩倍。根據韓國國際金融中心資料,8家外資投行對南韓2026年經常帳順差占GDP比重的平均預估,也從7月的14.7%大幅上修至8月的16%;7家投行對台灣的平均預估則維持在20.6%。

根據南韓國際金融中心(KCIF)資料,8家外資投行8月對南韓今年經常帳順差占GDP比重的平均預測,已由7月的14.7%上調至16%。其中野村證券預估可達19.7%,高盛估18.7%,花旗則估18.2%,多家投行大幅上修預測,主要就是看好半導體出口前景。

相較之下,有7家投行對台灣今年經常帳順差占GDP比重的平均預估維持20.6%,若比較同時預測台韓的6家投行,南韓平均為18.1%,台灣為21.5%,差距僅剩3.4個百分點。值得注意的是,去年同一批投行預估數字為「南韓僅7%、台灣17.5%」,當時兩國差距還超過10個百分點。

這些銀行包括巴克萊銀行、美國銀行美林證券、花旗銀行、高盛集團、摩根大通銀行、匯豐銀行、野村證券和瑞銀集團。其中,摩根大通甚至預測南韓今年將反超台灣,估計南韓經常帳順差占GDP達18.1%,台灣則為13%。若南韓比重逼近20%,將接近1998年10.1%歷史高點的2倍。

對此,野村證券經濟學家Park Jeong-woo指出,南韓過去經常帳盈餘的增長主要是由經濟衰退推動;但這次則不同,主要來自貿易條件改善,以及半導體強勁推升出口金額,AI需求正是背後最大推手。

截至9月5日,南韓今年累計出口已達7094億美元,提前超越去年全年7093億美元(約新台幣22.3兆元)的歷史紀錄。南韓海關表示,半導體出口是主要驅動力,1月至8月期間晶片出口總額達2812億美元(約新台幣8.8兆元),較上年同期成長169.6%,佔該國出口總額的40.6%。如果目前出口動能持續,今年全年出口甚至可能首度突破1兆美元(約新台幣31.5兆元)。

The central bank re-examines gold storage locations: legal risks and liquidity become new variables

The Dutch central bank transferred part of its gold reserves from New York to London to improve transaction speed during the crisis, but this highlighted that the location of gold storage not only affects liquidity, but also involves jurisdiction and asset freezing risks. Venezuela’s 31 tons of gold held by the Bank of England have been frozen due to political disputes, highlighting the legal and political stance of the trustee country that may restrict the use of assets. The Bank of France made a profit of about 11 billion euros through the "sell on the spot, re-buy" operation, while Serbia began to ship overseas gold back to the country. Global central banks are re-evaluating their gold reserve storage strategies in response to rising geopolitical uncertainty.
