Samsung Electronics recorded more than US$50 billion in exports in 2006 for the first time as a Korean company. Exports excluding overseas production amounted to US$50.5 billion last year, the company said Wednesday, based on the quarterly average foreign exchange rate of W938 to W977 per U.S. dollar as compiled by the Bank of Korea. The export total accounted for 15.5 percent of all overseas shipments by Korean companies. By sector, the company sold $16 billion worth of computer chips, $15 billion worth of cell phones and $10.8 billion worth of liquid crystal display panels overseas.
