Economic Integration, Economic CooperationDownloadContentSummaryThis paper emphasizes that Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) plays an important role in the process of economic development and has a great effect on technology transfer among nations.
In the early stages of FDI, focus tends to be on labor-oriented businesses, therefore FDI promotes employment. After a degree of industrialization, FDI contributes to industrial growth in capital and technology-oriented businesses.Therefore, ASEAN nations have made efforts to introduce FDI by improving the investment environment through tax deductions or the facilitation of the movement of capital.
The Korean government has neglected to attract FDI so far compared with other AEAN nations, but this will have to change if the Korean government is to cope with the changes in the world economy. Despite the agreements made in the Uruguay Round, regionalism has spread rapidly and advanced nations will be increasingly protective of their technology.
Accordingly, this report points out that in order to overcome this situation Korea has to make a substantial effort to improve the environment for FDI. In particular, the government should take the examples given by ASEAN nations in successfully promoting economic development through inducing FDI. -
