South Korea's export growth will likely drop in the third quarter due to unfavorable exchange rates and the flare-up in violence in Iraq, a poll conducted by a state-run trade promotion agency said Sunday.
According to the survey by the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency (KOTRA), its leading export index for the July-September period came to 51.3 points, down 0.6 from 51.9 points predicted for the second quarter.
