S. Korea logs current account surplus for 22nd straight month in Feb.

South Korea's current account stayed in the black for the 22nd month in a row in February.

According to data from the Bank of Korea on Tuesday, the country logged a 7-point-2 billion U.S. dollar current account surplus in the second month of the year.

This marks a sharp increase from January's surplus thanks to the easing of disruptions caused by fewer working days during the Lunar New Year holiday the month before.

And it comes as exports rose 3-point-6 percent compared to the previous year on strong demand for computers, pharmaceuticals, cars, and IT equipment.
