Publishing address Invest KOREA is a national IPA (Investment Promotion Agency) that has been contributing to national economic development by creating employment and increasing export by attracting foreign investments. Recently, to qualitatively improve foreign investment attraction, Invest KOREA has established customized investment attraction strategies by region and by industry to perform active investment attraction activities. Despite the overall decrease in foreign direct investments in the world and the slump of attraction of investments from Europe that fell into a longterm economic recession, Invest KOREA recorded the highest FDI attraction in history in 2012 by attracting USD 16.28 billion with an increase of 19.1% compared to the previous year, including USD 3.67 billion from the USA (increased by 55% compared to 2011) and USD 4.54 billion from Japan (increased by 98% compared to 2011) through the combination of strategic investment attraction activities and IR activities for attracting investments from conventional investment attraction target countries, such as the USA and Japan and emerging capitals, such as the Middle East and Chinese capitals. In particular, Invest KOREA established a Japan desk (May 2012) to attract Japanese capitals that have been changing its investment markets outside its borders because of the effects of the state of strong yen, which has maintained since 2011, and the newly established a strategic investment promotion team (September 2012) to grasp investment trends of not only Japan but also China and other emerging countries. It is also to preemptively respond to the trends. In addition, Invest KOREA increased the infrastructure of China desks by increasing its existing three desks (Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou) to five (adding those in Qingdao and Dalian in 2012) to make efforts to attract investments from neighboring countries.

‘

’

In addition, Invest KOREA made great efforts to attract leading companies in the manufacturing industry and foreign companies with innovation capabilities to retain high technologies, such as source technologies, in order to qualitatively enhance investment attractions while making efforts to strengthen the external competitiveness of Korean industries, such as attracting the R&D centers of leading global enterprises, including Solvay and Cisco, through Global Alliance Project Series (GAPS). Through the yearly publication of annual reports, Invest KOREA (IK) examines its outcome during the previous year and makes a fresh resolution for its activities in the coming one. We sincerely hope that through this report, you will have an opportunity to broaden your understanding of the state of IK s investment attraction and activities in 2012, where the best outcome was recorded since the establishment of IK in 2003.

’

I would like to take this page as an opportunity to thank everybody in the head office of Invest KOREA, overseas trade centers, local governments, and related organizations who have made effort to increase foreign investment attraction and enhance the quality of attraction even under difficult external conditions. October 2013

Commissioner of Invest KOREA Kiwon Han

2012 Trend of Foreign Direct Investments (FDI)

1. Trend of Foreign Direct Investment In The World Progress of foreign direct investments in the world

The scale of foreign direct investments (FDI) in the world in 2012 was USD 1,351 billion with a decrease of 18% compared to that in the previous year, USD 1,652 billion. Economic weakness and policy uncertainty in major markets, including Europe, seem to have negatively affected investors.

’

To review FDI records by major economic zones, the scale of advanced countries FDI in 2012 was USD 561 billion with a decrease of as much as 31.6% compared to that in 2011, USD 820 billion. In particular, Europe accounted for approximately 2/3 of the total FDI amount decrease in the world. The scale of FDI by developing countries, such as China, India, and Brazil in 2012 was USD 703 billion with a decrease of 4.4% compared to that in 2011, USD 735 billion, recording 52% the total amount of FDI in the world. This is the first case where the scale of developing countries FDI exceeded that of advanced countries.

’

Investments attracted from Asian countries among developing countries generally decreased. In particular, South Asian countries recorded the largest decrease of 22.7% compared to the previous year and the scale of FDI from West Asian countries decreased for 4 successive years. Among East Asian and Southeast Asian countries, China and Hong Kong placed second (USD 121 billion) and third (USD 75 billion) places, respectively, and Singapore placed ninth (USD 57 billion). Meanwhile, despite the global shrinkage of FDI, Africa showed increasing trends in FDI for 3 successive years although the rates were small.

[Figure 1-1] Comparison of scales between world M&As and Greenfield FDIs

Data source : UNCTAD, World Investment Report 2013

Prospect of foreign direct investments in 2013

World FDIs in 2013 are expected to record USD 1.45 trillion, a level similar to that of 2012. According to a questionnaire survey on prospects of world investments conducted by UNCTAD with major multinational corporations, the scale of world FDIs is expected to show a slow recovery trend to a record of USD 1.6 trillion in 2014 and USD 1.8 trillion in 2015. IMF forecasted the scale of investment inflows into newly emerging markets in 2013 as USD 477 billion with a small increase from USD 466 billion in 2012. The cash holding levels of major multinational corporations in the first quarter of 2013 was lower compared to the same quarter in the previous year that suggests that these corporations may begin overseas investments in the near future. Investment fund inflows into developing countries are expected to continue for three years thereafter (2013~2015). This is proven by the fact that according to the results of a questionnaire survey conducted by UNCTAD among enterprises, China, the USA, India, Indonesia, and Brazil were selected as five major investment-attractive countries in the world; four of which, except for the USA, are developing countries. Mexico (seventh) and Thailand (eighth) were included in the top 10 to enhance the expectation of future investment attraction. [Figure 1-2] Flows of world foreign direct investments (FDI)

However, risk factors that disturb the recovery of world FDIs are still in existence, such as the structural weakness of the global financial market, the vulnerability of the fundamentals of macroscopic economy, and policy uncertainty in major regions, such as Europe. In addition, the fact that protectionism recently emerges again in some countries and regulatory policies against foreign capital attraction can also become an obstacle to the activation of FDIs should be noted.

2. Trend of Foreign Direct Investments In Korea Progress foreign direct investments Characteristics of FDI in Korea in 2012

① Continuous increases in investments in the areas of the service industry and the manufacturing industry ② Small increase in Greenfield-type investments and large increase in M&A type investments ③ Increase in large investments exceeding USD 100 million ④ Sharp increase in long-term loan investments The amount of FDIs in Korea in 2012 reached USD 16.28 with a record of being the largest amount of FDIs in history, showing an increase of 19.6% compared to the FDI amount in 2011 at USD 13.67 billion.

’

This is meaningful in that advanced countries investments in Korea greatly increased compared to the previous year, such as an increase of 20.2% in investments from the USA and an increase of 9.6% in investments from Japan despite the uncertainty of world economy because of the aggravation of the financial crisis in Europe, the strong yen phenomenon, and the slowdown of economic growth rates of newly emerging countries, such as China and India. In particular, in the case of Japan, in the midst of increases in overseas investments by Japanese enterprises suffering from sixfold distress (strong yen, tightening regulations, etc.), the rate of increase in Japanese investments in Korea compared to the previous year recorded 98.4%, indicating increased Japanese enterprises interest in investments in Korea.

’

M&A type investments increase of 90.2% compared to 2011 recording USD 3.74 billion while Greenfieldtype investments that attracted FDIs, amounting to USD 11.7 billion in 2011, recorded USD 12.53 billion with an increase of 7.1% compared to the previous year to show a stable growth trend. With regard to areas that attracted investments, investments in the service industry was USD 9.6 billion with an increase of 32.1% compared to the previous year 32.1% and investments in the area of the business service industry increased by 140.7% compared to the previous year. In the area of the manufacturing industry, despite a slump in the areas of the chemical, electric/electronic industry, investments in the manufacturing industry recorded USD 6.1 billion with an increase of 37.4% compared to the previous year, thanks to a great increase in investments in transporting machines.

One of the characteristics of FDIs in 2012 is an increase in long-term loans. Long-term loans that had occupied one-digit shares from 2009 to 2011 recording USD 600~800 million per year recorded USD 1.9 billion with an increase in their share to 11.7%.

Parts and Materials

Parts and materials industry in Korea

The parts and materials industry is one of key industries in Korea that accounts for approximately 45.3% the entire production of manufacturing industry. In 2011, this industry recorded a scale of production of USD 680 trillion with an increase of 13%, compared to 2010 the number of persons employed in this industry is 1.38 million, which accounts for 51.3% of employees in all industries (2011). The importance of the parts and materials industry stands out when the scale of import and export of Korea. The amount of export of parts and materials in 2012 was USD 253.4 billion with a decrease of 0.7% compared to the previous year, accounting for 46% of the entire amount of export of Korea and the amount of import was USD 162.5 billion with a decrease of 3.6% compared to the previous year. Because the amount of import decreased more than the amount of export, the overall trade recorded a surplus of USD 90.9 billion with an increase of USD 4.2 billion compared to 2011. On reviewing the import and export of parts and materials by country, it can be identified that a specialization structure in the industry is fixed where core parts and materials with high added values are imported from Japan and universal parts and materials are exported to China. As a result, as of 2012, the parts and materials industry of Korea recorded a deficit of USD 22.2 billion in trade with Japan while recording a surplus of USD 43.4 billion with a small increase in trade with China. The fact that the adverse balance of trade was improved and the dependency on Japan for import was relieved in the midst of the expansion of the scale of trade of parts and materials in 2012 is positively evaluated.

Investment attraction environments and policies for the parts and materials industry in Korea

The amount of foreign direct investments attracted by the parts and materials industry had maintained an increasing trend from 2007 to 2010 and has been showing a downward trend for the last two years. Although the amount of foreign direct investments attracted by the parts and materials industry in 2012 showed a decrease of approximately 18.1% compared to 2011, it still accounts for almost 25% of the total amount of investments attracted so that the parts and materials industry s status as a major investment attraction area is still maintained. In particular, the parts and materials industry attracts many Greenfieldtype investments that create good quality employment. Therefore, investments in this industry are actively attracted.

Meanwhile, as large enterprises in Korea has been recently increasing investments, foreign companies opportunities for business in Korea have been increasing. In particular, the necessity of investments by material and equipment manufacturers for the production of LCD, OLED, DRAM, and NAND Flash memories for which domestic enterprise have approximately 50% world market shares is increasing day by day. Since the Korean government is actively fostering those industries that are the foundations for future growth, such as display, robot, electric vehicle, and next-generation semiconductor industries, investments by foreign manufacturers of related parts and materials are expected.

To attract investments in the parts and materials industry as such, the government is promoting the formation of industrial complexes exclusively for foreign invested companies that manufacture parts and materials. When President Lee Myeong-Bak visited Japan in April 2008, he proposed the formation of industrial complexes for parts and materials exclusively for foreign companies and four regions: Free Economic Zones in Pohang in Gyeongbuk, Gumi, Jeonbuk/Iksan, and Busan/Jinhae were designated as sites for exclusive industrial complexes for parts and materials by July of the following year so that foreign invested companies that will come in the industrial complexes can receive incentives, such as reduction of / exemption from taxes and rental fees and support by cash. From 2010, overseas influential parts and material manufacturers, such as Tsubakimoto Chain, Johnson Controls, Ishizaki Press, and Elring Klinger have begun to come into the industrial complexes. Foreign invested companies in the area of parts and materials that have advanced into Korea

Those foreign invested companies that have advanced in Korea mainly deal with those parts and materials that are related to LCDs and semiconductors, which are main items of domestic large enterprises. Representative foreign invested companies include AFK (Asahi Glass Fine Techno Korea, Korea corporation of Asahi Glass) that manufactures glass substrates for TFT liquid crystals, AvanStrate Korea (glass II.

substrates for LCD), and Magnachip Semiconductor. In 2012, Paju Electric Glass Co., Ltd. (LCD panel glass) made a large investment in Korea, TOK (photo resists for semiconductors) invested in Korea, and Albemarle (chemical materials for displays) in the USA submitted an investment report for establishment of a factory in Korea. In addition, Toray BSF made an additional investment for building additional lines. In addition, investments in electric vehicle-related parts and materials that have been designated as an industry, the foundation for future growth, are increasing recently. Representative enterprises include Umicore from Belgium, manufacturer of cathode materials for secondary batteries for electric vehicles, which is building additional factories in Chonan, Chungnam, with a view to the operation of the factories in the second quarter of 2014. In addition, BASF from Germany is currently building a highly functional plastic resin factory in Yeosu, Jeonnam, that eyes a full factory operation in January 2014. In 2012, movements to relocate universal chemical material production facilities that must be replaced appeared and in the sector of textile material manufacturing, Ulsan Aromatics (joint corporation of JX Nippon Oil and Energy in Japann-SK General Chemical Co. in Korea) was established.

Success case of investments in Korea

Nippon Electric Glass Co., one of three largest LCD glass substrate manufacturers in the world, invested approximately USD 260 million to build new production facilities in Paju, Gyeonggi-do. This production base where the first-stage factory was completed in July 2013 will produce OLED (panel glass), a next-generation LCD and supply it to set manufacturers in Korea. The active promotion of commercialization of OLED-related large TV by the set manufacturers in Korea in the midst of rapid changes in display-related markets is making the factory into a major test stage in relation to whether OLED markets would be successful and investments by related businesses are being continued.

Aviation and Defense

Aviation and defense industry in Korea

As of 2012, the total market scale of the domestic aerospace industry was USD 6,559 million with a decrease of 5.6% compared to the previous year. In the area of supply, the amount of production was USD 2,697 million with an increase of approximately 14.4% compared to the previous year and import reached USD 3,862 million, exceeding domestic production. In the area of demand, the amount of export was USD 1,366 million with an increase of 34.1% compared to the previous year and domestic demand was USD 5,193 million with a decrease of 12.4% compared to the previous year1). The key to the expansion of Korean markets was supplies projects, such as the F-X project, initial bulk production volumes in the KHP project, and follow-up bulk production volumes of T-50 series and civilian demand parts export volumes for Boeing, Airbus, etc.

’

Although the total sales of 96 defense businesses in Korea exceeded KRW 9.3 trillion (as of 2011), the ratio of domestic demand to the sales is close to 90%, indicating high dependency on domestic demand. As the causes of poor export by defense businesses in Korea, small scales of the defense businesses, insufficient experience in export, and the lack of an unified communication window. As a way to improve these conditions, KOTRA established the Korea Defense Industry Trade Support Center in October 2009 mainly for cooperation between the Ministry of Knowledge Economy (current Ministry of Trade Industry and Energy), the Ministry of Defense, and the Defense Acquisition Program Administration and defense businesses, offset trade in the area of civilian demands, sales between governments, and the preparation of package deals and is reinforcing total directional efforts to support export.

On reviewing the state of export of defense goods for 5 years, it can be seen that the amount of export increase of approximately 100% in 5 years from USD 1,031 million in 2008 to USD 2,352 million in 2012.2) To review the amount by region, whereas export to the Middle East occupied the highest share in 2008, export to Europe and North America was the largest in 2012. Although the amount of export increased by at least 10 times after the establishment of the Defense Acquisition Program Administration, thanks to the defense goods export activation policy, unlike general product export that grows continuously, yearly export records of defense goods show large variations as export is made by some large contracts.

Investment attraction environments and policies for the aviation and defense industry in Korea

Foreign direct investments in the aviation defense industry in Korea have not been activated thus far because of low industrial competitiveness of Korea compared to competing countries and the areas of investments have been mainly aircraft maintenance and education instead of the manufacturing industry. However, since the F-X project was planned in 2013, major aviation enterprises are showing interest in the areas of aviation part manufacturing and finished product assembly. Therefore, investments in these areas are expected to increase. In addition, attraction of investments in Korea is increasing as shown by the fact that Boeing indicated its intention to establish an MRO (maintenance, repair and overhaul) center for combat plane maintenance in Yeongcheon-si, Gyeongbuk-do. 1) Korea Aerospace Industries Association (KAIA) statistical data 2) Defense Acquisition Program Administration statistical data

To upgrade the aviation and defense industry, the government continuously reinforced foreign investment attraction by offsetting trade since 2006. As a result, foreign investments were designated as one of the methods of performing obligations to offset trade in 2009 through amendments of the Defense Acquisition Program Act and its enforcement ordinance to be equipped with a full-scale frame. Under a plan to actively utilize the foreign investment attraction using offset trade to induce overseas aviation or defense enterprises investments in Korea, IK is actively performing continuous investment attraction activities, such as investment presentations, business talks with investors who visit Korea, and dispatches of investment delegations to increase investors interest and improve systems. IK will continuously improve this system through discussions with related departments, such as the Ministry of Trade Industry and Energy, the Defense Acquisition Program Administration, etc., so that this system can be effectively utilized as an actual method of providing incentives for investments in the aviation and defense industry and a means of attracting investments.

Foreign invested companies in the area of aviation and defense that advanced into Korea are 10 enterprises, including multinational enterprise EADS, Thales of France, Boeing, and United Technologies Corporation of the USA. Samsung Thales that was established by Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. and Thales February 2000 as a 1:1 joint venture is proving the best synergy effects of IT-defense enterprises investments by recording double growths over the last four years. Huneed Technologies where Boeing in the USA invested for a share of 16% in 2006 also succeeded in advancement through investment through stable participations in domestic defense acquisition programs and while showing the effects of technical tie-up for cutting-edge integrated defense systems of Boeing. In addition, in 2010, United Technologies Corporation in the USA and Korean Air made a JV investment for building up an aircraft engine MRO center. GMB USA, a Minesweeper manufacturer, performed a foreign investment through offset trade for the first time in Korea with support by KOTRA and the Defense Acquisition Program Administration. In 2011, Boeing Co. invested USD 5 million to establish a pilot training center.

Success case of investments in Korea

Boeing Training Service Korea (BTSK) was established in Korea in 2002 as a company completely owned by Boeing in the USA. As new models of airplanes were added, BTSK promoted the establishment of an aviation operation training center and dispatches more than 180 drillmasters to all airlines located in Korea, China, Taiwan, and Mongolia to provide aircraft maintenance and pilot/cabin crew flight training service. The training center planned to be constructed in 2014 will be equipped with 16 entire flight simulators priced at USD 25 million per unit and pilot training service systems that can be used by 500 persons per day on average and additional investments are expected according to the expansion of Boeing Co. s business. It is said that the aviation operation training center of Boeing Co. will have approximately 200 drillmasters dispatched by the head office of Boeing Co. in the USA so that approximately 3,000 pilots can be trained per year on average and will employ approximately 350 center operation staff as new employment. In relation to this, case investments have arrived three times in total over more than a decade, including 2002 and 2011 and Boeing Co. made an investment MOU for MRO center construction for combat planes in Yeongcheon-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do in 2012. Boeing Co. attended an investment report ceremony in 2013 with a plan to invest approximately USD 20 million in the second half of 2013.

To foster the new and renewable energy industry, the Ministry of Trade Industry and Energy (former Ministry of Knowledge Economy) enforced the Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) instead of the Feed in Tariff (FIT) system. Not only recognition about investments in new and renewable energy was improved but also the installed capacity was enlarged. The installed capacity in 2012 reached 620MW, approximately a half of the installed capacity under the Feed in Tariff (FIT) system to affect the expansion of the scale of the new and renewable energy market. Meanwhile, to review detailed sectors of the area of new and renewable energy, whereas the sector of solar energy achieved the goal of the obligatory supply amount, the sector of non-solar energy faltered a little because constraints by some sectors (wind power: licensing issue, bio: delay in the rearrangement of waste-related systems, water power: insufficient precipitation) were substantial. The government plans to prepare measures to efficiently compensate for the cost to perform RPS obligations through the electric power market, support the performance of the obligation to supply by improving various regulations and permission procedures, etc., and promote the activation of the transaction market and the substantialization of the system through efficient operation of the supply certificate transaction market. In addition, in the area of treasury investment, the government will decrease direct subsidies and concentrate on project promotion infrastructures. In the area of R&D, the government will try to change single product, single system centered R&D into a business model type R&D through fusion technologies, etc., and the portion of support for small and medium companies and strong medium companies in R&D support budgets to induce the development of technologies for parts and materials, and equipment for shared growth between large enterprises and small and medium enterprises thereby promoting outcome creating R&D projects. Investment attraction environments and policies for the new and renewable energy industry in Korea

Various countries in the world have fostered the new and renewable energy industry under the government s leadership in order to prevent environmental pollution and respond to global warming; the government s support for the new and renewable energy industry has been reinforced further as a way to create employment and as a new growth engine to overcome the global economic crisis of 2008. In line with this global trend, the Korean government set low-carbon green growth as a first-priority government policy agenda in 2008 and intensively fostered the new and renewable energy industry as an effective measure to achieve low-carbon green growth. Therefore, the new and renewable energy industry grew further compared to other industries even in the global crisis. However, the new and renewable energy industry in the world that grew under the leadership of the USA and Europe lost growth engines because of the financial crisis of 2008 began from the USA and the financial crisis of Europe in 2010 and investment attraction by Korea was greatly affected by these situations. In the aftermath of the continued world economic recession, the record of investments attracted by the area of the new and renewable energy industry centered on European advanced countries was very poor.

’ ’

To review the state of investment attraction by the areas of solar energy, wind power and bio energy on which the government concentrates in the areas of the new and renewable energy industry, investments in the sector of solar energy supported by relatively more developed-related industries in Korea accounted for major part of investments attracted while the sector of wind power has no record of investment attraction because of licensing issues and the market scale in Korea and the sector of bio energy showed investment attraction activities only in some special areas, such as the area of waste treatment.

Medical and Bio

Drug/medical industry in Korea

The health care market that includes BT-based drug, medical device, and medical service industries is two times of the IT market in size and attracts attention as a basis future growth with high added value because demand for medical services is increasing because of aging global population and increases in chronic diseases. In fact, according to the OECD Health Data 2012, the health care expenditure increase rate of Korea from the integration of national health insurance in late the 1980s to 2010 is 9% per year on average, twice the OECD average, which is 4.5%. Therefore the growth potential of the medical industry in Korea can be said to be very high. The market scale for the drug industry in Korea was USD 16.5 billion in 2011, approximately 1.7% of the world market. However, drug production in Korea (medicine and medical supplies, sanitary aids, medicinal herbs, cosmetics, etc.) accounts for 1.44% of gross domestic production and 5.22% of gross production in the manufacturing industry. The scale of gross production of drugs in Korea is approximately KRW 15.4 trillion and the production of finished drugs accounts for 91% of the gross production. The amount of drug export in 2011 was USD 1.75 with an increase of drug material export by 22.6% and an increase of finished drug export by 7% compared to the previous year. In the case of drug import, finished drug import increased by 16.4% compared to the previous year. That is, the domestic drug industry is centered on finished products for domestic demand and is planning to increase the advancement of its technology to become a high added value cutting-edge industry, expand global cooperation to visualize new drug development, and drug prices and distribution structures. The scale of domestic markets for the medical device industry reached KRW 4,306.4 billion in 2011 showing a clear increasing trend with an increase of 10.3% compared to the previous year, accounting for 1.3% of the world medical device market. (Annual average growth rate during 2006~2011 was 8.3%). The amount of domestic medical device production was KRW 2,964.4 billion with an increase of 7.2% compared to the previous year, the amount of medical device export was KRW 1,681.6 billion with an increase of 10.7% compared to the previous year, and the amount of medical device import was KRW 2,619.9 billion with an increase of 11.1% compared to the previous year. The number of domestic medical device manufacturers that reported production in 2011 was 1,958 with an increase of 5.4% compared to the previous year and the number of importers in 2011 was 1,570 with an increase of 4.9% compared to the previous year. In particular, the annual average growth rate of the amount of export between 2006 and 2011 was high 18.9% because the export of digital x-ray apparatuses, ultrasonic imaging diagnostic apparatuses, and dental implants produced in Korea sharply increased. The import of major import items, such as stents, expensive diagnostic imaging devices, such as CT/MRI, and artificial knee joints has continued and the scale of trade deficits has been maintained at approximately USD 850 million. Therefore, to enhance profitability and reinforce competitiveness, domestic medical device enterprises are interested in the expansion of global research and development and the cultivation of experts in the industry. Infrastructures for the drug/medical device industry in Korea

Although the scale of drug and medical device markets in Korea is limited, the stable foundations of local drug and medical device industries established in Korea located in the center of the Northeast Asian markets, the outcomes of active research and development, excellent manpower, and the government s will to foster the industries are acting as positive elements to attract investments.

The number of clinical trials conducted in Korea in for development of new drugs increased by 33.2% from 503 in total in 2011 to 670 in total in 2012. Global clinical trials accounted for 45% (303 cases) of them because Korea is trusted as an optimum place for global clinical trials equipped with increased numbers of research-oriented hospitals and clinical experts and patient management and medical systems. In addition, Korea has been identified to have excellent manpower essential for research and development and infrastructures, such as a large number of papers published and patent outcomes. In fact, the number of graduates from BT-related departments (including masters and doctorates) in 2012 was 52,811 in total and at least 20% received a masters or doctorate degrees. The number of workers who were working in the bio-industry was 22,817 with an increase of 11.1% compared to the previous year 11.1% and a highly educated person oriented manpower structure was maintained as 36.7% of the workers had a master s degree or doctorate. The number of papers published in the bio area in 2012, including those published in NSC (Nature, Science, Cell) which is one of three major scientific journals in the world was 8,082 with an increase of 13% compared to the number in 2010, which was 7,060, placed 10th in the world. In addition, according to the results of counting of the numbers of patents acquired in 2010 by country by World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), Korea placed fifth in the world with 9,689 cases. The number of Korean patents in the bio area registered in the USA during 2006~2010 was 520 and the national technology strength index of Korea was 166, which placed 14th in the world.

’

In particular the Korean government s active support activities for the bio industry are also becoming an important element for investment attraction. The outcomes of commercialization of research and development are accelerated on the strength of the government s full support and active investments, such as the establishment of the pan-department new drug development project group at the end of 2011 based on agreement among three departments: the Ministry of Health and Welfare, the Ministry of Knowledge Economy, and the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology (in 2011~2019, the government will input KRW 600 billion and private entities will input KRW 600 billion as project funds), bio fund raising, and the selection of innovative pharmaceutical industries. Detailed focused areas are specialized into the areas of biomedicines (bio-similar), herbal medicines, BIT fusion/composite medical devices, customized drugs and regenerative medicine for development.

Present state of investments attracted by the drug/medical device industries in Korea and investment attraction policies

The total amount of foreign investments in the drug and medical device industries (excluding foods/cosmetics) in Korea in 2012 was USD 243.5 million in 49 investment reports, accounting for 1.7% of the total amount of foreign investments attracted in the entire country. Although the amount is a little smaller compared to the previous year, it is meaningful because joint investments or cooperation for research and development among biomedicines manufacturers account for most of the investments even in the depressed situation of the industry because of the limit of growth of the domestic market, insurance drug policies, and the dual punishment system for rebates and overseas strong medium drug/medical device manufacturers are advancing into Korea. According to the analysis of the annual average growth rate (CAGR) for five years of 2008~2012, the amounts of foreign investments in theses industries have been showing a steady increasing trend at 21.9%. Therefore, through the attraction of foreign investments based on global commercialization in the area of biomedicines and the potential of the area of research and development, effects to contribute to the entrance into global markets, the creation of the employment of domestic high-grade manpower, and the securing of national competitiveness of the bio-industry are expected.

Foreign invested companies in the medical/bio area that advanced into Korea

Among those global pharmaceutical companies that have advanced into Korea, 13 of the top 30 companies in terms of domestic sales in 2012 and global medical device manufacturers, such as Simens, J&J, and GE health care greatly contributed to the production/export and import of medical devices. Although existing global pharmaceutical companies were active in expanding clinical trials and performing joint research and development activities in Korea, cases of large investments, such as direct investments in production facilities were rare. However, foreign investments through quota investments in domestic companies and M&A sharply increased in 2010, such as the cases of GSK, a global pharmaceutical company; Dentsply, a German medical device manufacturer; and Inverness Medical Innovation (Alere), a USA health care diagnosis company. Thereafter, a trend of foreign enterprises joint investments with domestic enterprise became prominent in 2011, such as the cases of Quintiles and Samsung BioLogics, Nichi-iko Pharmaceutical and Aprogen, Teva, a global generic manufacturer and Handok.

’

In particular, in 2012, after the establishment of Samsung BioLogics (a joint venture company of Quintiles, a global CRO in the USA and Samsung), a biomedicines manufacturer in Samsung Group, a joint investment was made by Samsung BioLogics and Biogen Idec for full-scale biomedicines research and development and commercialization followed by investments by strong medium medical device manufacturers, such as active additional investments by Takeda Pharma, a global pharmaceutical company in Japan; a new joint investment by Genexine, a domestic bio-venture enterprise; and Ajinomoto Co., Inc., a Japanese enterprise; an investment by Abbott, a USA global pharmaceutical company to establish Korea AbbVie Co., Ltd.; and investments by GN resound, Air liguide, and Quiagen. In addition, as a case of an investment by a stem cell based medicine research and development company, Pocastem (a venture company of POSTECH-medicine and biotechnology research center of Catholic University of Korea) which is the first joint research institute between universities in the area of biotechnology in Korea attracted an investment and there was a case where an investment was attracted for research and development in the area of regenerative medicine.

Success case of investments in Korea

In November 2012, Ajinomoto Co., Inc., a Japanese manufacturer of foods, amino acid, and compounds made in investment for the establishment of production facilities for culture media for cell culture necessary for production of biomedicines. Ajinomoto Genexine , a new joint corporation founded together with Genexine; a domestic bio-venturer company was established in Songdo, Incheon, to produce and sell serum-free media utilizing the high purity amino acid production technology of Ajinomoto. Ajinomoto decided to make an investment in Korea as a production base in Asia as biology studies and demand for biomedicines increased and the biomedicine research infra and development networks of Genexine; a promising bio-company in Korea became a base of the successful investment in Korea. This is a case where a decision to make an investment in a new business area was made through two companies cooperation for joint research and development that gave a great meaning to the Korean bio-industry s investment attraction activities.

In the times of LTE that has been fully opened, the necessity for our government to prepare policies to enhance network competitiveness and promote investment is increasing and the establishment of a smart ecosystem that encompasses networks, terminals, platforms, and services has emerged as a main concern of the broadcast and communication industry. Therefore, security, personal information protection, patents, and intellectual property rights, etc., are emerging as issues of the industry. Investment attraction environments and policies for the broadcast and communication industry in Korea

The amount of foreign direct investments (FDI) attracted by the broadcast and communication industry has been decreasing in scale since the 2008 global economic crisis. On the strength of the universalization of smartphones and tablet PCS, FDIs gradually showed an increasing trend since 2010. However, as mentioned at the beginning because of the saturated state of related markets, the number of cases and amount of FDIs decreased a little in 2012.

Data source : INSC (the manufacturing industry-communication equipment and broadcast equipment, service industry-communication industry/culture and broadcast industry)

Korea is an attractive investment market to foreign investors who are interested in the broadcast and communication industry in that it has secured world highest level IT infrastructure bases and customers sensitive to IT service and is evaluated to have high potential of future development. In particular, the expansion of demand for D-TV (Digital TV) following the termination of analog broadcast in 2012 and the necessity of test beds following the intensification of competition among smartphone and tablet PC manufacturers indicate not only short-term expansion of the market but also the growth potential of the Korean market. However, the development of new services and the media industry is restricted by the dualistic division between broadcast and communication and the limitation that the competitiveness of the area of SW and contents that can produce high added value is weak acted as a factor that hinders growth. Meanwhile, business foundations continuously increased as various foundation support policies of the government and the smartphone fever that began to appear in 2009 became catalysts and 74,162 enterprises were born in 2012 as a result. This value is well over the number of business foundations which was 62,168 in 2002 when start-up fever appeared because of an IT boom. However, the businesses could not properly grow after its establishment because the business founders or the investors retrieved their investments and exit the market due to lack of finance. Exit markets are largely divided into M&As that are for the intermediate stage and initial public offering (IPO), which is for the final stage and Korea is known to have poor M&A markets that are for retrieval in the intermediate stage. 36

Present state of foreign invested companies in the area of broadcast and communication that advanced into Korea

Major foreign invested companies in the area of broadcast and communication that advanced into Korea during the last five years include Nortel (Canada), Nokia-Simens (Finland-Germany), and Intel (USA) that are wireless communication equipment manufacturers and Amphenol (Netherlands); a global industrial and communication connector manufacturer. In 2011, in the aftermath of the big earthquake, attraction of investments from IDC (Internet Data Center) relocation-related Japanese enterprises. A representative one is the establishment of KT SB Data Service ; a joint venture company established in the Kimhae, Gyeongnam region by KT and Soft Bank Telecom (Japan) and other investments include those by Dassault Systems in Japan and Ticket Monster , a front-runner in the, domestic social commerce market.

Meanwhile, in 2012, CISCO (USA), the largest communication network equipment manufacturer in the world, established a U-city project-related international joint R&D center. This R&D center is meaningful in that it is operated with a view to pursuing shared growth of foreign invested companies and domestic small and medium enterprises rather than simply being operated as a profit making R&D center. Success case of investments in Korea

Cisco is the largest company in the world in the area of communication networks, which has been continuously making investments in Korea after the establishment of Cisco Systems Korea. Cisco is expected to find cooperative companies for U-city construction in the Asia region as a target market to conduct joint R&D, thereby transferring technologies and creating employment as well as preparing a foundation for accompanied advancement with domestic small and medium enterprises. A matching fund (The Ministry of Trade Industry and Energy-IFEZ) amounting USD 10 million was received from this company in December 2012. The actual scale of investment by this company is USD 21 million. The project is being implemented with a view to opening the Global Center of Excellence (GCoE) in Songdo, Incheon in August 2013 and this company is recruiting domestic businesses to cooperate with it through the KOTRA GAPS project (an opening ceremony was held in September 2012).

Tourism and Leisure

Tourism and leisure industry in Korea

The tourism industry is a 21st century high added value service industry with competitiveness that tows the low growth times without employment through the acquisition of foreign currencies, the creation of employment, and the promotion of investments. Not only Korea but various countries in the world are also making efforts to foster the tourism industry. According to statistics by United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), 2012 was a year of the best tourism industry boom in history and the number of international tourists was counted to be 1,035 million with an increase of 4% compared to the previous year. The world tourism market that rapidly recovered in the unstable economic situations after the global financial crisis continued a growth trend in 2012 following 2011. The Asia Pacific region recorded the highest growth rate (7%). In particular, the scale of Chinese overseas travel consumption expenditures increased to USD 102 billion so that China emerged as the number one overseas travel consumption country in the world. Therefore, the Korean government should reinforce the tourism industry s international competitiveness to be systematically prepared for the China market.

Trend of tourism and leisure policies of Korea

Recent world trends of the tourism industry are pursuing Multi-functions instead of single functions by industry and are characterized by enlargement, complexation, and themes through mutual linkages between facilities with attraction and the maximization of synergy effects. In September 2012, to activate investment attraction in Free Economic Zones, a preliminary examination system was introduced to reduce investors economic/time burdens by allowing foreign investors who with to invest in large-scale composite resorts to request for a preliminary examination with simple documents before applying for a formal permission.

’

In addition, the government has a plan to designate six strong point type marinas to form two each international marina facilities in each of the east, west, and south coasts in order to foster marine tourism and leisure sports as new growth engine industries that will create employment, activate domestic demand through the attraction of domestic/foreign tourists, and lead regional development.

‘

In addition, as a way to promote foreign tourist attraction, the Korean government has implemented a 72 hour no visa entry program for foreigners for transfer tourism. Since foreign transferring tourists who are to go to third countries or Jeju island through Incheon or Kimhae International Airport can enter Korea for 72 hours without any visa, tourism and leisure investment attraction is expected to be positively affected along with increases in the number of Chinese tourists.

’

Foreign invested companies in the area of tourism and leisure that advanced into Korea

Foreign invested companies in the area of tourism and leisure that advanced into Korea are divided into those that invested in hotels or marinas which are unit businesses and those that invested in composite reports for the operation of general entertainment business. In addition to existing Banyan Tree Hotel, Oriental Mandarin Hotel will advance into Seoul. Recently, as interest in the marine tourism industry in Korea has increased, marina resort development-related enterprises, such as Florida Marina Development in the USA and BP Development in Australia, are showing interest in Korea. SUTL Co. in Singapore advanced into Korea as an investor and operating company of a marina resort in Busan and is under fullscale negotiation. In addition, as Chinese tourists are increasing, investments in the area of tourism and leisure targeting them are increasing. However, these investments are mainly concentrated on Jeju island. II.

Regional Development

Regional development industry in Korea

Because of the effect of the global economic recession, the world real estate industry participates in stable markets (house, bonds) rather than new development markets. The growth recession of world development markets will be unavoidable because of the Europe financial crisis and the quantitative expansion of the USA and the retrenchment in economy of China are considered to weaken the private investment sector of developing countries. This will make investment development markets give weight to the risk of investments, collection, and conversion so that funds are concentrated on short-term loans rather than longterm loans and the market will be distorted to increase the gap between the rich and the poor. The real estate development market in Korea makes independent advancement into new projects difficult because of finance institutions PF loan regulations, the uncertainty of investment collection, and changes in money market rates. Therefore, overseas investors are reducing the subjects of investments to office buildings with high securitization rates, SOC projects, and guaranteed investment projects and are changing development methods from independent or leading type development into development through collaboration and cooperation. With the Korea-USA FTA and Korea-EU FTA as a momentum, foreign investors show interest in the area of distribution, integration of R&D Centers, etc., and high added value real estate markets so that changes in the regional development market are expected.

Investment attraction environments and policies for regional development in Korea

Currently, in investment report statistics, investment records for the tourism industry and regional development are divided into foods, accommodations, real estate, lease, culture, entertainment, etc. Over that last five years, investment records in the relevant areas have been accounting for approximately 20% of service industry records. The records in 2011 and 2012 decreased to the level of those in 2009 but are expected to gradually increase in 2013.

FEZ investment attraction conference ( 12.10.24)

Through new designation of Chungbuk FEZ and East Coast region FEZ, Korea became to have eight FEZs, two enterprise cities, one tourism and leisure city, one special self-governing province, and eight innovation cities. This indicates that the central government and local governments intend to put emphasis on region oriented models in national land development projects. Meanwhile, since inflows of private capitals are essential for the finalization of development districts and the establishment of concrete project plans, friction with depressed domestic private development projects is expected. Large development projects, such as the Saemangeum land reclamation project, the relocation of public institutions to provinces, innovation city development projects, and the attraction of the Winter Olympic Games to Pyeongchang are implemented in terms of regional economy activation and the efficiency of national land development. These government-led development projects are implemented simultaneously creating an adverse effect of dispersing the interest of foreign and domestic investors. Foreign invested companies in the area of regional development that advanced into Korea

Currently, diverse enterprises have advanced into Korea in relation to tourism and leisure-regional development and the Korea-USA FTA and the Korea-EU FTA have direct/indirect effects on investments. In relation to regional development, TAUBMAN, Simon Property, Triple Five, KOZAR LLC from the USA, GreenLand from China, and Berjaya from Malaysia have participated in the projects. In addition, Gyeonggi-do Goyang Korean wave wood, Gwacheon cultural composite complex, and Hanam Union Square are implementing active investment attraction projects for regional development projects lifting development restrictions. Investments by Chinese enterprises have been concentrated on Jeju island and the investors are showing interest in the grant of investment permanent residency (Jeju island, Alpensia resort in Gangwon-do, Yeosu, Midan City in Yeongjong-do in Incheon, Sky City).

Logistics and Distribution

Logistics industry in Korea

The scale of the entire world logistics market was approximately USD 3.7 trillion (13% of entire world GDP) in 2010 and is expected to reach USD 8 trillion by 2020. As of 2010, the container cargo volume (185 million TEU) in Northeast Asia was approximately 38.5% of that of the world (481 million TEU) and has been continuously increasing since 2000. The total sales in the domestic logistics market is estimated to have been KRW 38.2 trillion and recorded a growth rate of 2.3% showing steady growth despite the economic recession following the financial crisis began in Europe and oil price increases. In 2012, the container cargo volume reached 2,300 TEU with an increase of 6.8% compared to 2011, the import and export cargo volume increased by 4.9% compared to the previous year because newly emerging markets share of export increased, and the transshipment cargo volume increased by 9.9% than 2011 because global shipping companies increased services.

Along with its geopolitical excellence that enables linkage with not only China, a factory of the world and economic giant Japan, but also the Far East Maritime Provinces and Taiwan in short distances, Korea has established excellent infrastructures, such as world-class airports and seaports, including Incheon Airport (second in the world based on cargo volumes) and Busan port (world fifth container port), well-organized expressway networks and railways, and inland logistics base facilities to brighten prospects for future investment attraction. Meanwhile with the effectuation of the Korea-USA FTA and the Korea-EU FTA as a momentum, Korea is attracting attention from many global manufacturing and distribution businesses to utilize Korean airports and seaports as Trunk Routes for the world logistics markets. This seems to play the role of driving force for the Korean market to leap forward to become a global logistics hub. To reinforce the competitiveness of the logistics industry in line with this, the Korean government selected the area of port terminal operation and construction and the area of core distribution centers to be located in logistics complexes as promising areas for investment attraction and actively searches for promising investors in the area of logistics in Europe, North America, and Japan markets while improving systems that impede the growth of the logistics industry. Meanwhile, the amount of investments attracted by the logistics industry (transportation and warehousing) reported in 2011 was USD 143 million with a decrease compared to the previous year. However, since investments in the logistics industry are made in linkage with the wholesale/retail distribution industry in many cases because of the nature of the logistics industry, the state cannot be safely concluded as meaning a decrease in investments. Reviewing the present state of foreign investments in logistics in linkage with the distribution industry should be reasonable and regarding that the ratio of investments in Korea is interlocked with major investors M&As, etc., should be accurate. In the case of the year before the last year, foreign investments in the logistics and distribution industry was USD 2.34 billion accounting for 21.4% of entire foreign investments.

The ratios of logistics costs to sales of the manufacturing industry and the distribution industry in Korea are relatively high compared to Japan, and this is identified to be a factor that weakens the competitiveness of entire industries in Korea. In particular, although the ratio of utilization of third party logistics (3PL) in Korea is 59.6% and is steadily growing, the reinforcement of the competitiveness of domestic industries through the expansion of investment attraction in this area is identified to be urgent.

As of 2011, the scale of the domestic cultural contents market in Korea was USD 39 billion and it was 10th in the world. The expansion of export of cultural contents to high-ranking countries is important for further growth. The fact that when the portions of export by the cultural contents industry by region in 2011 are seen from that viewpoint, Japan (USD 192.8 billion) as the second largest market in the world and China (USD 109 billion) as the third largest market in the world accounted for the largest portions at 12% and 6.8%, respectively, brightens the possibility of growth of the cultural contents market in Korea, including export.

Finance and M&A

Finance and M&A industry in Korea

FDIs in the entire world greatly shrank after the global financial crisis of 2008 and has been showing a gradual recovery trend thereafter. UNCTAD estimated that world FDIs in 2011 were recovered to the level before the financial crisis. Among the types of investments, whereas cross border M&As of enterprises in advanced countries increased because of the restructuring of those enterprises implemented in the process of overcoming the financial crisis, Greenfield M&As have not yet been recovered as the uncertainty of world economy has persisted because of the Europe financial crisis and other conditions.3) On the other hand, the number of cases of M&As between domestic enterprises in 2012 was 543 with an increase of 26% compared to 2011 but the amount of transactions was KRW 19.7 trillion with a decrease of 35% compared to the previous year. The ratio of M&As between affiliates increased greatly compared to the previous year and thus the number of cases of transactions increased approximately twice from 113 in 2011 to 220 in 2012.4) The quarterly number of cases of examinations was 651 with an increase of 19.9% compared to the previous year.

In 2012, whereas M&As in the area of the manufacturing industry were similar to the previous in number (202 219), those in the area of the service industry increased greatly (229 324). In particular, M&As were actively implemented in the area of wholesale/retail distribution (increase of 42 cases) to show an appearance contrary to that in the previous year when M&As in the manufacturing industry prevailed.

Investment attraction environments and policies for Finance and M&A in Korea

The record of M&A type FDIs in Korea had continuously decreased after recording USD 5.26 billion in 2005 until it recovered the level of 2008 in 2012 by recording USD 4.18 billion following USD 1.97 billion in 2011. The ratio of M&A type foreign investments attracted by Korea also continuously decreased after recording 45.5% in 2005 to become 14.4% in 2011 but it increased to 23.7% in 2012. The point at which the progress of foreign investments attracted by Korea is the most different from global trends can be said to be the ratio of M&As. Whereas the ratio of M&As to foreign investments attracted by the whole world is 60~70%, the ratios of M&A type foreign investments attracted to entire FDIs over the last 5-6 years were very low except for 45.5% in 2005.

Data source : INSC (based on records)

Since large financing is necessary for M&A type investments, the ratio of M&A type foreign investments attracted is closely related to the development of capital markets. In Korea, the ratio of M&A type investments has been low thus far because of the manufacturing industry oriented investment attraction policies and the competitiveness of the finance sectors relatively lower compared to the manufacturing industry. However, the financial environments and markets in Korea are being gradually improved, thanks to the expansion of the scale of the capital market and increases in liquidity in Korea. In addition, since system improvements for the advancement of financial markets are in progress, such as the II. Trends of Foreign Investment Attraction by Major Industry

enforcement of the Capital Market Act, the relaxation of the separation between industrial and financial capitals, and the reform of financial public corporation, M&A type foreign investment attraction is expected to increase further hereafter. Foreign invested companies in the area of Finance and M&A that advanced into Korea

Global financial investors that have advanced into Korea can be divided into venture capitals (VC) and private equity funds (PEF). PEFs mainly make profits by taking over the management rights of enterprises that entered into their mature stage, enhancing their enterprise value and reselling the enterprises to strategic/financial investors. Currently all five global PEFs, Goldman Sachs, The Carlyle Group, KKR, TPG, and Apollo, have made investments in Korea or are reviewing the possibility of investments. In 2012, Headland Capital, a PEF in Hong Kong, took over 96.5% (KRW 1.44 trillion) of the shares of Young Toys, a Korean toy manufacturer.

’

Cases of foreign companies M&As of domestic enterprises in 2012 include USA Walt Disney s takeover of Studio EX, a domestic game development company (takeover conditions, such as scale were not disclosed), USA Intel s takeover of Olaworks , a domestic venture enterprise (KRW 35 billion), and USA pharmaceutical company Alvogen s takeover of Kun Wha Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (KRW 100 billion).

’

‘ ’

’ ‘

’

Venture capitals can be divided into general VCs and CVCs (corporate venture capital) operated by multinational enterprises. Intel Capital, which is operated by Intel Co., invests on start-up enterprises with innovative technologies and has invested approximately 30 venture enterprises in Korea by now. In addition, Qualcomm also advanced into Korea in 2010 and Pulsus, Obzee, etc., are making investments in domestic enterprises. Japan Softbank Ventures has been making investments in Korea from 10 years ago. In addition, more than 10 global VCs have advanced in Korea, including Altos Ventures, Storm Ventures, DFJ Athena, Maverick Capital, Bluerun Ventures, and IDG. Unlike global PEFs, overseas VCs actively invested in Korea in 2011 and scale of investment is growing day by day, such as KRW 20 billion each invested by Maverick Capital, Altos Ventures, and DCM in Kakao and Coupang.

Success case of investments in Korea

Dynam Holdings, the number one pachinko company in Japan, invested USD 8 million (approximately KRW 8.5 billion) in RD-Tech, a screen golf equipment manufacturer in August 2011. Dynam Holdings operates 352 shops under direct control directly and is planning to stably supplied with the screen golf equipment through the strategic capital alliance and sell to equipment in Japan and to the USA. By establishing the strategic partnership with Dynam Holdings through capital alliance, RD-Tech not only secured the capital amounting to USD 8 million but also made a long-term supply contract with the partner Dynam Holdings for 10,000 units (approximately KRW 200 billion) to be supplied for five years hereafter.

The total sales of foreign invested companies in 2011 was KRW 482 trillion in all industries (excluding financial industry) consisting of KRW 387 trillion in the manufacturing industry and KRW 95 trillion in the non-manufacturing industry with an increase of approximately 20% compared to 2010. Accordingly, foreign invested companies share of the domestic industry became 14.7% with an increase of at least 1% compared to 2010.

The the manufacturing industry s share of sales in 2011 was shown to amount to four times of that of the non-manufacturing industry and the manufacturing industry only showed an increase in sales exceeding KRW 90 trillion to lead the entire sales of foreign invested companies. This is not unrelated to the phenomenon that large investment enterprises having relatively large sales are mainly concentrated on the manufacturing industry and suggest the necessity of balanced investment attraction between the manufacturing industry and the service industry. In fact, on reviewing high rank enterprises in the amounts of sales increases compared to the previous year, it can be seen that all top 12 enterprises are in the manufacturing industry and that many representative foreign invested companies are distributed in industries with large business scales, such as petroleum processing (oil refining), car manufacturing, metal, and chemistry.

In line with the Chinese overseas investment policy that gathers speed in the 12.5 plan (2011~2015) period, KOTRA IK actively constructed Chinese investment attraction infrastructure, such as expanding the China desk, an organization dedicated to Chinese capital attraction. China desks were established in core cities of China beginning with Shanghai in 2010 followed by Beijing and Guangzhou in 2011. In 2012, China desks were established in Dalian and Qingdao that have control over the northeastern part of China and the Bo Hai rim to prepare investment attraction activity bases by zone in China. Based on these investment attraction infrastructure, the head office and the five China desks in China closely cooperated with each other to activate the platform to attract Chinese enterprises investments in Korea, such as implementing presentations of investment environment in Korea by zone in China, operating investor customized TFT , and implementing a Korean/Chinese enterprises strategic M&A investment attraction road show project. In particular, in the Beijing-Shanghai circuit national IR held in May, IK extensively publicized investment environments in Korea and formed an atmosphere of Chinese enterprises investments in Korea, such as receiving an investment report for USD 100 million from Nokji Group, a leading real estate investment company in China. As a result, a total of USD 720 million was recorded in 2012 as investments attracted from China. Given that Chinese enterprises make overseas investments via Hong Kong in many cases, the actual amount of investments attracted from China is assumed to be much larger than that.
