South Korea's exports declined 4.7 percent in November from a year earlier, keeping a downward trend for 11 straight months, a government report showed Tuesday.

Exports, which account for about half of the economy, reduced 4.7 percent from a year earlier to 44.43 billion U.S. dollars in November, according to the Ministry of Trade Industry and Energy.

The November decline was up from a 15.8 percent plunge tallied in October but maintained a downward trend for 11 months in a row.

Imports tumbled 17.6 percent to 34.07 billion dollars in the cited period, sending the November trade surplus to 10.36 billion dollars.
