Real-name financial system (RNFS) is a set of regulations or practices that mandates financial asset owners to hold and transact financial assets only under their own real name. By enhancing the transparency of a country’s financial system, it helps to achieve a number of policy objectives, such as promoting equitable distribution of tax burden, increasing tax revenue, curbing corruption, legalizing underground economy, and providing information infrastructure necessary for other reform measures. The mode of adoption, however, may vary across countries. In some, it is mandated by law while in others, it is adopted voluntarily by market participants. Whatsoever the mode, its adoption can be considered as an indispensable step necessary to level up a country’s economic system, to foster national unity, and to make economic development more sustainable.
When it comes to the adoption of the real-name financial system, Korea went through a number of twists and turns. (The rest omitted)
