Trade structureDownloadContentSummaryThe service sector is gaining importance in the Korean economy, with its share of service trade accounted a significant proportion of the commodity trade.
However, the share of the service sector in the domestic economy is lower than that of emerging countries such as Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore. A series of government regulations and restrictions on service imports have prevented competition and impeded the offering of higher value services.
In this regard, this paper reviews the recent trends in the trade in services in Korea, focusing on the evolution of its structure and the degree of centralization by region. Furthermore, several desirable strategies and policy implications for the structure of trade in services are proposed. -

Foreign investmentDownloadContentSummaryAt the end of the 1980s, Korea's overseas direct investment increased rapidly as it had been achieving surpluses in the balance of payments. Korean firms move overseas for various reasons such as securing overseas markets and procuring raw materials at lower prices in foreign countries. Degree of internal reforms, abundance of skilled labor, investment promoting policies, and ethnic ties in Chinese provines are crucial in attracting Korean FDI in this regard. However, their main objective is to reduce production costs.
This paper reviews the recent trends in foreign direct investment in China and its accomplishments. Furthermore, several desirable strategies and policy implications for future Korean overseas investment are proposed. -

Exchange rateDownloadContentSummaryThis paper analyzes the characteristics of the exchange rate fluctuations of major currencies in Korea and discusses the policy implications for its exchange rate system. The type of exchange rate regime has been at the center of economic debate due to economic globalization and liberalization. The choice of exchange rate regime has been regarded as critical to achieving sustainable economic growth and has important implications for the world economy.
While revaluation of the domestic currency results in decreased exports, a high unemployment rate and the distortion of overall production factor. Devaluation of exchange rate leads to the regulations of exports and the pressures of import liberalization from foreign countries, as well as price rise.
Accordingly, the Korean government should apply appropriate exchange rate policy in response to the currency crisis. The objective of this paper is to allow the government to participate in the foreign exchange market in a way that contributes to economic stability and promotes the development of the private sector's participation in foreign exchange.
