South Korea’s Economic Tipping Point

25/3/2019

0 Comments

 
The International Monetary Fund made an important statement last week, recommending that South Korea adopt expansionary fiscal policies. This means lowering taxes and/or increasing government expenditures to stimulate economic growth. The underlying principle is simple: if people have more money to spend and the government is spending more, the economy will have more money rolling around in it, supporting new jobs and expansion. Hence the name.

Economic viability tests are conducted on projects that get more than about 26 million U.S. dollars in government funds, but the South Korean government will waive the assessments on select projects in the interest of helping less developed regions of the country catch up.
​

North Korea's Kim Jong-un crosses into South Korea

27/4/2018

0 Comments

 
The whole of South Korea stood still for the moment the leaders shook hands on both sides of the border in the demilitarized zone that divides the countries. It was an apparently unscripted moment during a highly choreographed sequence of events.

Few would have predicted a development like this as North Korea had escalated its nuclear provocations through 2017. The rapprochement began in January when Chairman Kim suggested he was "open to dialogue" with South Korea. The following month the two countries marched under one flag at the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics.

A plan being floated among Japan, the United States and South Korea is aimed at the complete denuclearization of North Korea by the summer of 2020.

The​ 2017 EROPA Conference and General Assembly was held in Seoul, Republic of Korea from 11 to 15 September 2017. Featured in multiple news agencies such as Yonhap, Munhwa, and 24KZ, social media is also part of the annual event's promotion.

In the past week (10-17 September 2017), up to 100,000 impressions were counted for the conference. This is greater than the 15,000 being reached by EROPA's social media outlets per month (recorded from January to August 2017). The conference in itself is one of the largest in recent years with around 600 registered participants from within Korea and overseas.

As this year's conference closes, we look forward to seeing you in the 2018 EROPA Conference in the Republic of Indonesia. Stay with us for more updates!
