JEJU, South Korea, July 31 (Reuters) - South Korea is on course to achieve a $30 billion trade surplus by year's end, handily surpassing its earlier forecast of $23 billion, Economy Minister Choi Kyung-hwan said on Saturday.
'Our economy has been recovering at a faster pace than expected. It is a recovery led by exports and large business groups,' he told a forum in the southern resort island of the country.
