S. Korea's import price rises for 3rd month in March
SEOUL, April 16 (Xinhua) -- Price for imported goods to South Korea rose for the third straight month due to higher crude oil prices that offset the local currency's appreciation versus the U.S. dollar, central bank data showed Tuesday.
The import price index added 0.4 percent in March from a month earlier after advancing 2.5 percent in January and 1.0 percent in February, according to the Bank of Korea (BOK).
