Current Status and Policy Tasks to Promote Economic Relations between Korea and Russia Yeocheon Jeong Russian economy is now being normalized after many years of severe depression and instability. Inspite of still existing instability factors such as serious budget deficit, major economic forecasting institutions are generally optimictic about the growth and development potential of Russian economy. Yet, vitalization of domestic investment wil be key to the full-scale economic growth of Russia.

Since 1990, as Korea and Russia established formal diplomatic ties, economic relations between the two countries has been increasing in diverse fields. Fast growth of bilateral trade, active participation of Korean fishing fleet in Russian waters, and introduction of Russian basic technologies and scientific knowledge into Korea are several outstanding examples. Nevertheless, based on the geographical closeness and the complementarity of industrial structure, Korea and Russia could have developed much more for bilateral economic relations. The most important obstacle to promoting Korean-Russian economic relations has been, so far, the political and economic instability of Russia, and, following from this, lack of institutional infrastructure to promote international economic transaction. However, attitutes of Korean firms pursuing only short term benefit, and their insufficient information and knowledge on Russia and Russian market were also great impediments.

As Russian economy is normalizing, the results of economic reform are getting visible, and, therefore, conditions for economic cooperation with Russia are turing to be better, crisis of Korean economy since end of 1997 is providing an unfavorable situation this time. However, in order to overcome economic crisis, it is necessary for Korea to increase export to such a huge growing market like Russia, and to introduce low-priced, but excellent basic technologies and scientific knowledges from Russia. Futhermore, to vitalize economic relations between Korea and Russia, it is desirable for Korean and Russian governments to hold "Korean-Russian Joint Committee on Economy and Science-Technology" every year regularly.
