South Korea's annual exports of information and communication technology goods -- like displays and memory chips -- surpassed 200 billion U.S. dollars for the first time as of November.<br />The trade ministry says just last month Korea shipped nearly 18-point-three billion dollars' worth of ICT products thanks to continued strong demand for memory chips.<br />Exports of those were worth over ten billion dollars for the seventh consecutive month. <br />But compared to the same period last year, ICT exports were down one-point-seven percent, the first time they've contracted since November 2016.<br />The ministry attributed that to sluggish exports of displays and computers. <br />
