x This study has two objectives. First, it traces the development of the government bond market in Korea since liberation from Japanese colonial rule in 1945 in order to identify elements underlying the remarkable transformation of the government bond market. Second, it derives implications from the Korean experience and suggests policy lessons for other developing countries: This study not only emphasizes the positive aspects but also clarifies the negative ones of Korean government bond market development to provide useful, specific and realistic policy suggestions to address challenges confronting many developing countries.
The history of the Korean government bond market started with the issuance of the National Foundation Bond (NFB) in 1950 to finance government budget deficits. Since then, various government bonds have been issued and discontinued according to the changing needs for those bonds.(The rest omitted)

Preface
The study of Korea’s economic and social transformation offers a unique opportunity to better understand the factors that drive development. Within one generation, Korea has transformed itself from a poor agrarian society to a modern industrial nation, a feat never seen before. What makes Korea’s experience so unique is that its rapid economic development was relatively broad-based, meaning that the fruits of Korea’s rapid growth were shared by many. The challenge of course is unlocking the secrets behind Korea’s rapid and broad-based development, which can offer invaluable insights and lessons and knowledge that can be shared with the rest of the international community.
