Financial liberalization, Capital marketDownloadContentSummaryThe following changes to the market will be preconditions for full-scale capital market liberalization in Korea.
First, Korea should pursue capital market liberalization as it moves from the rapid growth period to the steady growth period. Investment earning rates and domestic interest rates tend to be high in the high growth period, which may lead Korea to lose price competitiveness when liberalizing the capital market by revaluating the price of the won price due to the steep influx of capital.
Second, capital market liberalization should be pursed after international payments are stabilized, as unstable international payments can lead to speculative capital transactions.
Third, capital market liberalization has to be pursue on the premise of liberalization of trade and foreign exchange. Without liberalization of trade and foreign exchange, the imbalances in trade deepen.
Fourth, financial liberalization should precede or accompany capital market liberalization. Finally, Korean financial companies have to accept capital market liberalization.
Accordingly, it is necessary that ahead of opening the capital market, the government should assess business capital and the expected growth of the stock market to ensure that businesses take a positive attitude to the capital market. -

Capital market, Exchange rateDownloadContentSummaryThis paper explains the background and recent history of the exchange rate regime in Korea and discusses the policy implications for its capital market liberalization.
The Korean government had been adopted the single currency peg (SCP) system since 1964. It has pursued a series of currency stabilization measures by introducing a floating exchange rate in March 1980.
It was expected that unlike the fixed rate system, the floating rate regime should reflect accurately the relative price of a country's currency accurately and prevent sustained severe imbalances between current accounts of different countries.
However, this simple system neither correctly nor flexibly reflected the changes according to economic situation. In particular Korea's trade surplus with the US exploded from in 1966 to in 1989 and resulted in trade dispute.
Accordingly, the Korean government has put into effect the market average exchange rate (MAR) system in 1990. Under this system, the basic won-dollar rate was the market average rate of the previous day, determined by the weighted average of the market exchange rate, where the weights were the volumes of each transaction. -

Environmental policyDownloadContentSummaryRecently, environmental goods have begun to be recognized as economic goods. Although the environment has become seriously polluted through the process of industrialization worldwide, threatening economic activity, it has not been until recently that environmental goods have begun to be recognized as economic goods. Environmental goods are representative of goods that cannot be allocated property rights.
Recently, global environmental pollution has become a matter of primary concern. The UN Conference on Environment and Development in 1992 served as an opportunity for the concept of sustainable development to spread widely, reinforcing that economic policy and environmental policy are inseparably related in the pursuit of sustainable development. Economic instruments related to the environment are expected to strike harmony between economic and environmental policy by raising their effectiveness.
This report emphasizes for sustainable development, Agenda 21 must make use of economic instruments, financial institution and incentives effectively. -

Technical cooperationDownloadContentSummaryThe objective of this study is to examine features of Korea's technology imports from Japan so far and the reason for the depression in the 1990s. Based on this, this paper gives suggestions for promoting technology import from Japan.
Since 1960, Korea has imported much of its technology from advanced nations such as the United States and Japan. In particular, Japan has held relative importance in Korea's technology imports. However, technology imports from Japan have declined in the 1990s.
This paper indicates that there are some worries in the dependence on technology imports from Japan.
Japan's technology imitates that of Europe and America, but is of a lower grade. In addition, there are differences in views on problems surrounding technology transfer between Korea-Japan, such as the lack of up-to-date technology transfer (Japan) and structural problems in the public and private sectors regarding technology transfer (Korea).
Therefore, Korea needs to identify its structural problems and improve the environment to facilitate smooth technology transfer. -

Overseas direct investmentDownloadContentSummaryAfter the events of Tiananmen Square in 1989, many people doubted if China's economy could maintain reform and the open-door policy it had been pursuing for 10 years and recover the rate of FDI's increase.
Unexpectedly, the Chinese economy turned around quickly and FDI to China has increased dramatically. In terms of government policy, wages, labor and market, China has a more favorable environment to attract foreign investment than any other developing nation. For its part, Japan participated actively China's market after the yen gained strength in 1985.
This report estimates that in spite of economic recession in Europe and America since the 1990s and insufficient corporate funds, Japanese direct investment in China has increased rapidly.
This report suggests that the increase in Japan's direct investment in China reflects changes in the investment structures of the two countries. -

Financial policy, Trade policyDownloadContentSummaryThe study is designed to analyze progress, current issues and prospects of Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) economic integration. Particular attention is paid to the implications of CIS economic integration for Korean firms.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the 11 former Soviet Republics, except Georgia, established the CIS in terms of military and alliance and economic links between them. However, the leaders of CIS countries have varied in their commitment and interest in regional economic integration, thus stifling any real progress in multilateral cooperation.
Although an agreement on establishing Interstate Bank (ISB) within CIS was concluded last year in 1993 to lay a foundation for the multilateral trading settlement system, it was not operated in practice. However, with the deepening of conflict between the conservative and revolutionary forces, CIS countries afraid of acquiring power through hard-line actions were beginnings to turn round their position. In this context, the agreement on establishing new ruble bloc and forming economic integration was concluded in the CIS summit talk in September 1993. CIS countries need to unite in a more powerful integrated grouping to achieve an upturn in the economy. -
