Friday February 27, 11:15 pm Eastern Time S.Korea Feb trade surplus seen at $2.0 bln-2.5 bln SEOUL, Feb 28 (Reuters) - South Korea's customs-cleared trade was forecast to swing to a surplus of $2.0 billion-2.5 billion in February from a $2.12 billion deficit a year earlier, a trade ministry official said on Saturday. ''We have achieved a trade surplus for four consecutive months,'' the official told Reuters by telephone. ''This would be the first record of the kind since 1993.'' The country previously posted four straight months of surplus from September to December 1993, he said. The official said the ministry saw exports of around $11.0 billion and imports of $9.0 billion for February. Korea recorded a trade surplus of $1.51 billion in January, $2.21 billion in December and $120 million in November. The figures for the three months had been revised. ''Exports have really been boosted by exports of gold that has been collected in a campaign to raise the nation's foreign reserves,'' he said. The official said the Korean won's devaluation against the dollar has yet to impact exports. ''It would take about six to seven months for exporters to realise benefits from the won's fall,'' he said. The official said imports had declined due to sluggish private consumption and difficulties local companies face in opening letters of credit. He said the official trade figures for February were scheduled to be released on Monday.
