A STUDY ON UTILIZATION OF CHINA’S BONDED AREA FOR EXPANDING AGRIFOOD EXPORT OF KOREA

China is showing trends of increase in international trade due to worldwide economic growth. Furthermore, the annual increases in trade value of its bonded area, Bonded logistics complex, etc. are greatly contributing to the development of China’s commerce as result of rising demands from foreign markets. Bonded area is favorable to trade environment and it is typically installed in a port relatively advanced in technology and economy. It differs from other areas due to government’s implementation of favoritism and special policies in that area. Such efficacy is economic like other foreign nations’ “Free Trade Zone”, “Export Processing Zone”, and others that all possess the four functionalities of international trade, modern logistics, entry processing, and commodity marketing.The biggest advantage of bonded area is drastically simplified export-import customs clearance and favorable customs process, and includes other advantages including inspection of goods, tax investigations, foreign exchanges, financial management, etc. that are administered at once. These factors provide accelerated administration of customs procedure and effective business affairs, form ideal investment environment for internationalization of companies, and reduce distribution costs.The Chinese government, following the successful management of bonded area and BLP, is now focusing on establishing the final directing point of the Free Trade Zone. On September 29th, 2013 the “Shanghai Free Trade demonstration borough” was officially launched to form the progressive economic system more efficient than the traditional system. Likewise, we should take advantage of such BLP to export agricultural processed goods, equipment and materials to solidify Korea’s agricultural position there. The trade that utilizes BLP is still mostly conducted by focusing large corporations’ products, and in practice, there have been little discussions of agriculture on the surface aside from the manufacturing industry. However, this venue should serve as appropriate consideration for the sixth industry of agricultural companies, small and medium-sized businesses to take part and form an export path to China’s market

Trade and Investment Linkages and Policy Coordination: Lessons from Case Studies in Asian Developing Countries

The Asia-Pacific Research and Training Network on Trade (ARTNeT) launched an exploratory study on trade and investment policy linkages and coordination in 2007 , which included exploratory surveys of private sector stakeholders in three South-Asian countries (Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka) on the need for improved trade and investment policy coordination and coherence based on the Policy Framework for Investment (PFI) developed by OECD. Following a short overview of trade and investment linkages from an Asian perspective, this paper summarizes the key findings from the exploratory surveys and draw preliminary policy implications.Trade and Investment Linkages and Policy Coordination, Asian Developing Countries

Selected Policy Measures Against the Debt Distress in Mongolia

The objective of this report is to examine the public external debt sustainability of Mongolia, and to propose appropriate regulatory actions for ongoing debates about economic reform. Following sharp external shocks that include a drop in foreign direct investment and a depreciation of the national currency, the country is at a critical moment of determining whether to default on its external debts or correct structural policy failures. Therefore, it is important that Mongolia identify its level of debt distress and determine which structural reforms should take place

Mongolia: social and economic issues

Çevrimiçi (II, 157 Sayfa : resim, tablo ; 26 cm.)Along with the interest in general Turkish history, the interest in the history, language and culture of the Mongols has also increased; researchers who prefer this field as a field of specialization have increased. Especially in recent years, Turkish and Mongolian academics have carried out joint studies, workshops and conferences in the field of history, language and culture, and shared them with the scientific world. This historical interest in the Mongols and the geography of Mongolia has also triggered the interest in the contemporary life, social and economic situation of Mongolia. Izmir Katip Celebi University has also cooperated with Mongolian universities to bring academicians and students of the two countries closer. The book of Relations between Turkey and Mongolia in the 21st Century published by our university is also a good example of collaborative work. Our University, which continues its desire to carry out such studies with Mongolian academics, has decided to publish the book Mongolia: Social and Economic Issues as a result of this. The present work consists of 15 different studies on the contemporary social and economic situation of Mongolia, as well as Mongolian history and culture. In these studies, all of which were written by Mongolian researchers, the social and economic situation of Mongolia is discussed with data and analysis. We would like to thank the researchers who contributed to this book with their work
