Interview transcript as below:
Q : What are the economic achievements of Moon Jae-In Administration for the
past 2 years?
Moon Administration which started
from May 2017 just entered its
3rd year. One of its most
notable economic records is that GNI per
capita exceeded $30,000.
The Gross National Income (GNI)
per capita of Korea, which was $28,000 when the administration started, is assessed to have exceeded
$30,000 threshold at the end of last
year.
Q : What are the factors to impede economic growth of a
country so far? Can you provide an example in terms of growth rate,
employment, exports, etc.?
It is indicated that there are many barriers lying ahead for
Korea in moving toward GNI per
capita of $40,000 and
$50,000. Its growth rate is currently
balking at 2%, and its employment and exports are struggling amid
adversities. Experts point out that its outdating industrial structure, ever
widening gap of income inequality, low birth rate and fast aging
population are crippling Korean economy.
As revisions of various laws and investigations were aimed at large companies such as
Samsung, Hyundai, SK, LG, Korean Air and Asiana, which are called
'heart of Korean economy', Korean
companies have been discouraged, some argue that policy
shift is urgently needed to boost the morale and entrepreneurship
of Korean companies.
Q: What topics will be focused
on and discussed at the
forum?
Professor Seung-wook Kim of Chung Ang University will make
presentation on 'Merits and Demerits of Jae-in Moon
Administration's Economic Policies So Far and Direction for its 3rd
Year in Office'.
In addition, Professor Ki-sung Park of Sungshin Women's
University will make presentation on "Status of Government's Labor
Policy So Far and its Future Directions", and Professor on Special
Assignment, Jung-ho Kim of
Yonsei University will present on
'Government Directions on Institutions for Companies'.
Besides, Jung-geun Oh, Chairman of Asian Finance Society, will
present on 'Global Financial Market and Government Direction for
Financial Policies in the Age of Information Revolution' and Dr.
Jae-wan Jang on 'Government Direction for South-North Korean
Economic Cooperation under Turbulent Conditions of Korean
Peninsula'.
