SEOUL, April 25 (Yonhap) - South Korea's terms of trade deteriorated slightly in March from a year earlier as a rise in export prices was offset by a hike in import prices, central bank data showed Tuesday.

The index measures the amount of imports a country can purchase for each unit of exports, showing how the country's exports are doing in comparison to others.

In March, export prices rose 10.2 percent from a year ago, while import prices increased 15.4 percent, the BOK data showed.

The income terms of trade rose 0.2 percent on-year to 150.61 last month, the data showed.
