OVERVIEW Despite employment and inflation continuing to remain stable, the economic recovery has been slowing down as the index of all industry production fell for the second consecutive month in May due to decreases in mining and manufacturing production, public administration, and construction activities. The economy added fewer jobs in May than it did in April, adding only 413,000 jobs year-on-year. Consumer prices in June remained stable in the 1 percent range and increased 1.7 percent year-on-year, the same level of increase as the previous month. Mining and manufacturing production dropped by 2.7 percent month-on-month in May as major exports such as automobiles and mobile phones slowed down and the number of days worked decreased due to holidays such as Children’s Day and Buddha’s Birthday. Retail sales and service output in May recovered somewhat from the slump they experienced following the Sewol ferry disaster, improving 1.4 percent and 0.6 percent, respectively. The indices have yet to fully recover from a fall in April, when retail sales fell 1.6 percent and service output dropped 1.2 percent. Facility investment in May declined 1.4 percent month-on-month as both transportation equipment investment and machinery investment fell. Construction completed fell 6.0 percent from the previous month’s 6.9 percent increase, due to municipal and provincial elections. The composite index of coincident indicators and the composite index of leading indicators fell by 0.4 points and 0.2 points, respectively.

EB 7월호 내지.indd 3

Exports rose 2.5 percent in June, recovering from a 1.0 percent fall in the previous month, due to an increase in exports to the US and an increase in semiconductor and vessel exports. The trade surplus was US$5.29 billion. The stock market plummeted in the beginning of June due to external uncertainties, including political unrest in Iraq, but ended the month increased as economic indicators improved in the US, China and other major economies. The value of the won rose. In June, housing prices across the country rose slightly (up 0.02%) despite a fall in the prices in the Seoul metropolitan area, as prices in areas other than the Seoul metropolitan area continued to increase. Jeonse (lump-sum deposits with no monthly payments) prices increased 0.10 percent, up from the 0.07 percent increase seen in the previous month.

T h e G r e e n B o o k : Current Economic Trends

The economic recovery faltered as the index of all industry production fell while consumption and investment have yet to fully recover. The Korean government will continue to closely monitor internal and external economic trends as external risks remain, including US QE tapering, uncertainties in emerging economies, and the weakening of the yen, and at the same time will work to protect domestic markets from external shocks. The government will implement policies to support the working class and stimulate the economy, and will continue to successfully implement the Threeyear Plan for Economic Innovation to strengthen Korea’s economic fundamentals.

T h e G r e e n B o o k : Current Economic Trends

1. External economic situation The global economy continues to recover at a moderate pace, led by the US. However, downside risk factors remain, such as a slowdown in emerging economies and geopolitical risks arising from tensions in Ukraine and Iraq.

4

There are other uncertainties in the global economy, such as the possibility of an additional monetary stimulus by the European Central Bank, as well as concerns that the Japanese economic slowdown triggered by the sales tax hike may continue.

US

E c o n o m i c B u l le t i n

The US economy contracted by 2.9 percent in the first quarter of 2014, but regained growth momentum in the second quarter, led by the private sector, such as employment, consumption and the housing market.

The housing market has picked up, with existing home sales (up 4.9%, m-o-m) and new home sales (up 18.6%, m-o-m) surging in May and home prices rising 1.2 percent month-on-month in April. New home sales (m-o-m, %)

Industrial production in May rose 0.6 percent monthon-month, recovering from the previous month’s temporary slump. The ISM Manufacturing Index, which forecasts business sentiment, posted 55.3 in June.

Although retail sales increased at a slower rate in May, rising 0.3 percent, compared to 0.5 percent in the previous month, the Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index and the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index rose in June.

Nonfarm payrolls were up 288,000 in June, rising by more than 200,000 for the fifth consecutive month. The unemployment rate declined to 6.1 percent. Nonfarm payroll increase (m-o-m, thousands) 89 (Jul 2013) > 274 (Nov) > 84 (Dec) > 144 (Jan 2014) >

Japan In Japan, production and consumption improved slightly in May due to a low base effect from April, when demand plunged as a result of the sales tax hike. However, exports fell. The consumer price index (CPI) rose 3.7 percent month-on-month in May, while the core CPI increased 3.4 percent. On June 24, the Japanese government announced a new growth strategy, which includes corporate tax cuts and regulatory reform.

Eurozone The eurozone continues on a gradual recovery path, but inflation remains low. Industrial production rose 0.8 percent month-on-month in April, while consumer prices rose 0.5 percent year-on-year in June. The ECB decided on July 3 to hold its benchmark interest rate and deposit rate for banks steady at 0.15 percent and -0.1 percent, respectively.

It is unclear that retail sales continue to improve in June, as advanced estimate data on consumption have been mixed. Despite domestic sales of cars growing faster year-on-year in June, the number of cars sold decreased compared with the previous month (102,000 > 101,000).

The dollar-won exchange rate in June fell 8.3 won to 1,011.8 won from 1,020.1 won at the end of May. The dollar-won exchange rate declined due to the weakening of the dollar, continuing current account surplus, and foreign investors’ buying of Korean shares. The 100 yen-won exchange rate fell from 1,003.8 won in May to 999.0 won in June, despite slight gains in the yen, as the current account surplus continued in Korea. (End-period)

3-year Treasury bond yields fell from 2.82 percent in May to 2.68 percent in June. Treasury bond yields declined as a preference for safe assets grew due to external uncertainties such as the crisis in Iraq. Concerns that the economic recovery may be hampered by the Sewol ferry disaster also affected Treasury bond yields.

PO LIC Y ISS UE S New Economic Team’s New Economic Policies Korea, China Agree to Open Direct Yuan-Won Currency Market

EB 7월호 내지.indd 44

14. 7. 25. 오후 6:27


New Economic Team’s New Economic Policies Background

Slowing down domestic demand has led to a vicious cycle of low growth – low inflation – large current account surpluses. If these trends continue, the Korean economy will see growth and inflation contract along with exports and domestic demand. Household income and corporate earnings will contract as well.

45 Policy Issues

The Korean economy has been losing recovery momentum due to weak domestic demand as well as a slowdown in the global economy. Falling disposable income, which is attributed to a shortage of decent jobs, one of the outcomes of passive corporate investment, has been affecting domestic demand, while limited money supply, which results from financial institutions managing their funds conservatively, depresses the real economy.

Against this backdrop, the government needs to pursue game-changing policies in order for the Korean economy to break free of this vicious cycle and take its next leap forward. The government will adopt long-term, comprehensive and aggressive policies to fix the economy, rather than passive policies that impair growth momentum.

Strategies The New Economic Team’s New Economic Policies will be an aggressive stimulus, which focuses on the private sector. The government will take measures to improve household income and promote job creation, while effectively tackling problems ailing temporary workers.

EB 7월호 내지.indd 45

14. 7. 25. 오후 6:27


Policy Issues The government will take the lead in developing a creative economy and promoting economic innovation by successfully carrying out public projects, which will encourage private sector investment.

Policies 1) Stimulating domestic demand The government will inject around 41 trillion won of stimulus into the economy, 11.7 trillion won in fiscal expenditures and more than 29 trillion won in financial and foreign exchange support.

46 E c o n o m i c B u l le t i n

The government will introduce corporate tax incentives that encourage businesses to increase employee wages, dividend payments and employment, and promote facility investment, which will raise household income, while revising tight housing market regulations that were adopted during the housing market boom. The government will also promote employment and facility investment in the service sector by increasing tax incentives for job creation and permitting the use of accelerated depreciation accounting systems. The government will reduce mortgage loan risk by regulating nonbank financial institution loans and introducing tax incentives for long-term loans with fixed interest rates and installment payments. 2) Supporting the working class To promote full-time employment, the government will provide wage support for full-time employees who previously worked as temporary employees, while gradually changing public sector temporary positions to full-time positions. On top of that, the government will improve the job security and work environments of temporary workers by providing part-time employee wage support. The government will pursue its goal of 70 percent employment by increasing young adult and female employment. Education and training programs will be strengthened in a more industry-friendly

EB 7월호 내지.indd 46

way, which will address mismatches between jobs and the labor force. Improved training programs for overseas jobs will be available for university students. The government will continue to strengthen public childcare programs to promote female re-employment. The public sector will increase the number of women in management-level positions and provide professional training programs. The government will announce more measures to improve female employment in September. The government will publish its labor force outlook for 2013-2023 in September and create a corporate employment index in order to better track employment trends, and find solutions for industries in which jobs are decreasing, including financial & insurance services and professional, scientific & technical services. In October, the government will announce measures to increase the competitiveness of self-employed businesses. If the same kind of small businesses are in operation in the same urban area, the government will designate the area as a specified zone and provide marketing support as well as help improve the business environment. Centers for Small Business Support will be established throughout the nation, and financial support will be increased. The government will utilize private-sector experts to improve traditional shopping centers and support young business owners running businesses in traditional shopping centers. The government will increase support for society’s most vulnerable by stabilizing the prices of necessities, strengthening basic social security programs and expanding unemployment benefits. National health care will now cover fertility treatment. 3) Reforming the economy The new economic team will implement the Threeyear Plan for Economic Innovation, and will review

14. 7. 25. 오후 6:27


47 Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Strategy and Finance Choi Kyung-Hwan, who is leading the Park administration's new economic team, is making a statement at a meeting on July 23 at the National Assembly.

The government will pursue the second round of public institution reform in order to increase competitiveness. In the first round, public institutions that were heavily indebted and recklessly managed were urged to reduce debt and improve management efficiency. To more efficiently manage fiscal resources, the government will reform the public sector pension system and subsidy programs, as well as improve its national asset management practices.

The government will form task forces to develop seven promising service industries, which include tourism, healthcare services, education, financial services, software, content industry and logistics. In addition, the government will unveil measures to develop business service industries, such as design, consulting, intellectual property rights and other services provided by licensed professionals.

The government will continue to work on regulatory reform, making it more business-friendly, while listening to business by holding regular meetings and operating a hotline that offers direct access to the Deputy Prime Minister.

A meeting on the creative economy will be hosted by President Park Geun-hye and a public-private committee on the creative economy will be formed. The government will develop a ‘Silicon Valley’ for creative industries in the Seoul Metropolitan area. The government will develop plans to promote innovative manufacturing, which utilizes ICT in manufacturing, in October, and plans to strengthen manufacturing services, which include engineering, design and software, in November.

Complicated regulations involving multiple ministries and construction regulations will be reformed. The government will adopt exemplary regulatory reform, such as Jeju Special Self Governing Province's regulatory reform aimed at boosting service industries.

The government will help develop overseas markets by pursuing the Eurasia Initiative and utilizing the Knowledge Sharing Program (KSP) and the Economic Development Cooperation Fund (EDCF), as well as promoting the use of FTAs.

President Park Geun-hye (right) is attending a summit meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping at Cheong Wa Dae on July 3.

— Korea, China pledge to deepen economic ties Korea and China agreed to work further to develop their strategic partnership and deepen economic ties, at the Korea-China Leaders’ Summit held on July 3 in Seoul. The two countries signed an MOU on creative economy and sustainable growth, pledging to increase cooperation on venture investment, urbanization, energy saving and climate change. They also agreed to cooperate on the development of a joint economic zone in the Saemangeum costal reclamation area in Korea. The joint economic zone will be a self-sufficient area providing industrial, educational, residential and commercial facilities. In addition, Korea and China agreed to work closely to develop the Greater Tumen Initiative (GTI) into an international body by 2016. The GTI is a regional development cooperative body for the Northeast Asian countries of Korea, China, Russia and Mongolia, and is the most appropriate vehicle for pursuing the Park administration’s Eurasia Initiative, which is aimed at boosting trade and economic ties among Eurasian nations. With this agreement, large development projects are expected in Northeast Asia. Also at the summit, the Export Import Bank of Korea signed a joint agreement with its Chinese counterpart. According to the agreement, the Korean bank will provide loans for shipbuilding contracts between Korea’s Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering and China’s Minsheng Financial Leasing. The Export Import Bank of Korea will provide US$2.95 billion in loans for the construction of three vessels, and the Chinese bank will guarantee 50 percent of the loan.

— KONEX shows steady growth in first year

— Korea-EU FTA enters fourth year

July 1 marked the first anniversary of the Korea New Exchange (KONEX), a stock market for small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and startups that have huge growth potential but are too small to be listed on the KOSPI or KOSDAQ.

The Korea-EU free trade agreement (FTA) has contributed to increased exports and investment since it took effect on July 1, 2011, according to the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy. In its third year (Jul 2013-Jun 2014), the trade volume between Korea and the EU rose 10.3 percent. Exports to the EU rose 7.8 percent, while imports were up 12.5 percent. Export and import growth with the EU were higher than Korea’s total export and import growth during the same period. However, Korea’s trade deficit with the EU has widened since the Korea-EU FTA took effect due to the European financial crisis and the weak euro.

Over the past year, the number of listed companies on the KONEX increased from 21 to 55, and the market capitalization more than doubled from 468.9 billion won to 1.18 trillion won. The market capitalization of the 21 initially listed companies grew 24 percent from 468.9 billion won to 581.5 billion won.

Foreign direct investment (FDI) from the EU to Korea amounted to US$5.56 billion over the past year. This was a sharp increase from previous years. In the year preceding the Korea-EU FTA (Jul 2010-Jun 2011), the EU-Korea FDI was US$3.84 billion, and was US$4.38 billion and US$3.80 billion in the first (Jul 2011-Jun 2012) and second (Jul 2012-Jun 2013) years, respectively.

— Overseas construction orders reach record high in first half of 2014

— SMEs to receive low-interest R&D loans

Overseas construction orders in the first half of 2014 rose 21.5 percent year-on-year to US$37.5 billion, a record high for a first half figure. The previous record was set in 2010 (US$36.4 billion), when the government won a US$18.6 billion contract to build nuclear power plants in the UAE. The Middle East accounted for 66 percent of total orders, as Korean firms won large projects in Kuwait, Algeria and Iraq. Orders from Latin America surged, as a result of government efforts to enter those markets, while orders from Asia slowed compared to the previous year.

An average of 37,000 shares were traded each day in 2014, down from 61,000 shares in 2013. The average daily trading value also declined from 390 million won in 2013 to 260 million won in 2014. However, transactions have been growing since April, when the government announced measures to promote the KONEX market.

The government announced it will continue to provide low-interest loans this year to support SME research and development (R&D). The R&D loan service program was launched in 2013, when the Industrial Bank of Korea (IBK) and Woori Bank, which were chosen to administer the loans, provided 310 billion won in low-interest loans to 251 SMEs from the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy’s R&D budget. This year, 300 billion won or more will be loaned at the same low rate as last year.

Economic News Briefing — Government to allow foreign investment in Saemangeum project

52 E c o n o m i c B u l le t i n EB 7월호 내지.indd 52

The government is planning to ease rules related to the Saemangeum Reclamation Project, in a bid to attract more investors and revitalize the project. Currently, the parties allowed to take part in the project are limited to the government, public firms, general contractors, real estate investors and real estate developers. According to the new rules, more private parties will be allowed to participate in the project. This includes foreign-invested firms, which are defined as firms theat are majority-owned by foreign shareholders or firms that include more than 5 percent of foreign capital in their investment in the Saemangeum Reclamation Project. The Saemangeum project is a land reclamation project that involves developing 401 square kilometers of land along the Korean Peninsula’s west coast with the purpose of developing the region into an economic hub of Northeast Asia.

The government recently announced measures that would attract more investors to the Saemangeum Reclamation Project. An aerial view of the Saemangeum seawall in November last year is shown below.

— Government to support future technologies

— FDI exceeds US$10 billion in first half of 2014

The Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning has announced new projects for this year’s ‘New Industry Creation Project’, a national initiative launched in 2013 that provides support to promising technologies with the goal of creating marketable products and services within the next two years. A total of 14.4 billion won will be invested over two years in fields such as 3D printing, cloud services, tangible contents, the internet of things (IoT), and biosensors. A group of private sector experts selected six projects among 151 candidates, and they include creating biodegradable medical devices with 3D printers, building a cloud platform for schools, and applying the IoT technology to farming.

Foreign direct investment (FDI) in the first half of 2014 rose 39.7 percent from the same period of the previous year to US$10.07 billion, setting a first-half record. Investment from the Greater China Region increased 615.3 percent to US$2.38 billion, thanks to increasing interest in cultural contents and food, and investment from Europe was up 40.3 percent to US$3.25 billion, led by manufacturing. Meanwhile, exports in the first five months of 2014 increased 2.6 percent from the same period of the previous year to US$235.7 billion, showing moderate growth despite external risks such as the weak yen and the slowing Chinese economy.
