Abstract
Foreign direct investment (FDI) has been established as one of the main pillars of growth in the Korean economy since the 1997 financial crisis. However, the growth of FDI has slowed to a virtual halt recently. In particular, global increases in FDI from 2003 to 2007 did not translate into growth in Korea, as FDI into Korea actually decreased during the same period. Even though FDI inflow met the target level in 2009, FDI growth into Korea has become stagnant, standing still between 10 to 12 billion US dollars since 2000. The main cause for the stagnation seems to be Korea’s adverse management environment that act to impede FDI. Various regulations concerning the financial market, foreign exchange transactions, taxation and labor matters are criticized as being inferior to those of other competing countries.
