North Koreas financial system is based upon a mono-banking system, centered on the Central Bank of the DPRK. The Central Bank of the DPRK serves diverse functions - aside from financial activities, it also acts simultaneously as a central bank and a commercial bank.
From the experiences of China and Vietnams financial reform, we draw several implications for North Korea.
With the enactment of the Central Bank Law and Commercial Banking Law, North Korea has already laid the institutional foundations for financial reform. What matters is to draft and carry out specific plans for implementation, create an environment conducive to its enforcement, and to continuously put the plan to practice. It is imperative to ensure the explicit prohibition of financial asset provisions via the central bank, to guarantee the smooth transition to commercial banks taking on the primary role in savings and deposits, to ac-quire substantive tools for currency and for-eign exchange market operation, and to stimulate both the capital and foreign currency markets.
