Korean Economy Review

KOTRA was established in 1962 to bolster the Korean economy through trade. It has since traveled alongside Korea on its journey of economic growth.

In the 1960s and 70s, KOTRA developed overseas markets and in doing so served as a driving force in increasing Korea’s exports. In the 1980s, near the end of the Cold War, KOTRA led efforts to achieve economic diplomacy in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. During the Asian financial crisis in the late 1990s, as a national investment promotion agency, KOTRA attracted foreign investment to Korea and helped steer the nation out of the economic downturn.

Today, with 111 Korea Business Centers in 76 countries worldwide, KOTRA serves as a vessel through which foreign companies can conveniently cooperate with Korean companies.

Last year, Korea ranked seventh for total exports. Trade rose ten-thousand-fold from $100 million in 1951 to $1 trillion in just 60 years.

All listings enable anyone interested in a property to submit online a request to visit or require information about a selected property. You will therefore directly be in touch with the Real Estate Agent or the landlord.

The U.S.-Korea Business Council

Welcome to the U.S.-Korea Business Council web site, which is designed to facilitate member access to our information services and encourage U.S. companies with an interest in Korea to get more involved in shaping policy priorities and outcomes.

The U.S.-Korea Business Council is a private sector organization focused on strengthening trade and investment ties between Korea and the United States. Our Council is run by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and members include some of the largest U.S. investors in Korea. We benefit from our relationship with the Korea-U.S. Business Council, which is managed by the Federation of Korean Industries and comprised of top Korean business executives. Together, the two councils work to forge consensus between the two private sectors and to recommend policy changes that will benefit the economies of both countries.

Asia Times Online Review

Asia Times Online was founded at the beginning of 1999 and is incorporated and duly registered in Hong Kong. It derives its revenues from advertising, the resale of original content to other publications and news services, and subscriptions to atimes.net.

Historically, in our publication policy and editorial outlook, we are the successor of Asia Times, the Hong Kong/Bangkok-based daily print newspaper founded in 1995 that had to cease publication in the summer of 1997 as a result of the Asian financial crisis.

Like its predecessor, Asia Times Online gives its readers an overview of news events in Asia and beyond, looking behind the headlines that are the staple of news agencies and networks. Asia Times Online is reaching a rapidly increasing global readership. Our readers are people of influence - investors, executives, diplomats, academics, journalists - who need to be in the know.
