Korea Vows Better Environment for Foreign Investment

Vice Minister for Trade and Energy Cho Seok presided over the 3rd Foreign Investment Commission meeting on September 18 with the aim of promptly improving Korea’s business environment and infrastructure for foreign investment. At the meeting, the commission newly designated eight foreign investment zones tailored to meet the demands of major investors from Japan, the United States and the European Union. The new investment zones, which provide various incentives including tax benefits, are expected to create around 55,000 jobs directly and indirectly, and attract 2 trillion won in foreign investment. In addition, the commission decided to increase the level of financial support especially for leading global enterprises that cooperate closely in the R&D sector. Under the new measures introduced by the commission, the regional headquarters of multinational companies newly established in Korea will also be entitled to receive cash grants from the government. Meanwhile, in the coming months, the Ministry of Knowledge Economy plans to designate an industrial complex specializing in the parts and materials industry and hold investment forums in major Chinese cities including Shanghai, Guangzhou and Qingdao. * Released by the Foreign Investment Policy Division and the Foreign Investment Promotion Division date2012-09-27
