Domestic exports rose 2.2 percent on-year in the first 20 days of this month, data showed Tuesday.
 
Outbound shipments reached $33.79 billion in the Nov. 1 to Monday period, compared with $33.07 billion tallied a year earlier, according to the Korea Customs Service data.
 
Exports rose for the first time in 13 months in October. They advanced 5.1 percent on-year to $55 billion, driven by upbeat chip sales in the global market.
 
The government has expected exports, the country's key economic growth engine, to bottom out and recover and vowed all-out efforts to support exporters.
