This book was released on 2011-10-26 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The financial institutions, which are a core element of the economic system, underpin financial and real transactions and contribute to national economic development. Seeking to deepen understanding of the Korean financial institutions, the Bank of Korea published an English edition of “Financial System in Korea” in 2002. The Korean financial institutions have undergone significant change since that time. Above all, the basis for development of financial investment services has expanded, enabling the Korean financial industry to evolve into a high value-added growth industry creating quality jobs amid the trend of Korean financial institutions internationalizing and pursuing economies of scope and scale. Impacted by the global financial crisis that broke out in 2008, however, it now also finds itself in a phase of transition as it seeks to chart a desirable future course. There is now an awareness in major countries of the side effects of financial deregulation, and so they are reconsidering their long-held stance of financial regulatory easing and discussing ways to avoid systemic risk. In Korea, the Bank of Korea Act has been revised with a view to strengthening the central bank’s financial stability function. In order to reflect these changes and recent discussions and make up for the shortcomings of the previous version of this book, the Bank of Korea has arranged publication of this English edition along with the Korean version this year. To enhance its role in providing an outline of Korean financial institutions, this revised edition, “Financial Institutions in Korea”, places a particular focus on their historical background, functions and business operations. It is hoped that this publication will be of use in furthering understanding of the Korean financial institutions. Overview of the Korean Financial System Ⅰ. Changes to the Korean Financial System Ⅱ.

Book excerpt: This open access book discusses booming housing markets in cities around the globe, and the resulting challenges for policymakers and central banks. Cities are booming everywhere, leading to a growing demand for urban housing. In many cities this demand is out-pacing supply, which causes house prices to soar and increases the pressure on rental markets. These developments are posing major challenges for policymakers, central banks and other authorities responsible for ensuring financial stability, and economic well-being in general.This volume collects views from high-level policymakers and researchers, providing essential insights into these challenges, their impact on society, the economy and financial stability, and possible policy responses. The respective chapters address issues such as the popularity of cities, the question of a credit-fueled housing bubble, the role of housing supply frictions and potential policy solutions. Given its scope, the book offers a revealing read and valuable guide for everyone involved in practical policymaking for housing markets, mortgage credit and financial stability.

Download or read book Korea Alternative Investment written by Kwangmoon So and published by Yeonam Books. This book was released on 2020 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Korea Alternative Investment is the very first attempt to introduce the Korean alternative investment market to the world. The book is written in English for global investors who want to learn about Korea’s alternative investments. Thus far, no other book on the alternative investment market in Korea has been published in the local language or Korean. The book covers everything from real estate, infrastructure, ships, aircraft, private equity, and hedge funds to even the venture capital of Korea. It includes six individual alternative investment markets from A to Z: market overview, regulation, system, valuation, benchmark, historical performance, and real case studies. This book was written to see Korea's alternative investment market gain greater attention from the global market, and the author believe this will be possible if the market has a chance to be properly introduced. Korea takes up a very small portion of the global alternative investment market, and therefore, is not currently being actively considered by major investors, including global pension funds. Rather, the saturation of Korea's investors in the domestic market has led them to the overseas market. Despite all this, this book was written because Korea is an attractive market with high potential for growth. Korea is a leading country in IT and digital infrastructure, but its venture capital is evaluated at a premature stage. Interestingly enough, this could be an opportunity for global venture capitalists; however, they would need a book to help them fully understand Korea's alternative investment market including its legal system, structure, and achievements. To have all the information about real estate, infrastructure, ships, aircraft, PEFs, hedge funds, venture capital in one place would help clarify the understanding of Korea's market. This book holds significance as the first to attempt and it will be of great assistance for those interested in the alternative investment market of Korea.

Download or read book Navigating Japanese Real Estate written by Baek Seung and published by sosohouse. This book was released on 2024-03-31 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Earn 6,000 USD in monthly rent, with the world's lowest interest rates for the highest returns! Ordinary Individuals Succeeding in Japanese Real Estate Investment: Secrets Revealed! Seize the opportunity presented by the weakest yen exchange rate in 30 years, and set your sights on Japanese real estate! In an unprecedentedly uncertain global economy, there is an investment that's catching everyone's attention: Japanese real estate! Investors are increasingly focusing on Japan as its property prices remain relatively affordable compared to other countries—they haven't surged as much. Additionally, with the current weak yen, Japanese real estate is becoming an invariably advantageous investment in terms of stability and profitability. But is foreign real estate investment accessible to individuals, or is it just for corporations, private equity funds, and inter-company markets? The answer is NO! Even ordinary individuals can invest in foreign real estate! With a weak yen, low interest rates, high returns, and stability, even private investors can own Japanese real estate. Embarking on direct investment in Japanese real estate can seem overwhelming at first. But investor Baek Seung, who has already paved the way, is here to share his expertise. From the countless questions received both offline and online, she has compiled this book around the most frequently asked ones, as well as those crucial topics anyone considering foreign investment must understand. In this book, not only have I addressed numerous questions, but I have also strived to include the experiential knowledge I have gained over time. I hope to make the investment points more easily understandable for all overseas investors interested in Japanese real estate. ※ While this book was published in South Korea and written for Koreans, it contains only those aspects that are universally applicable to foreigners acquiring Japanese real estate. Although specific references to Korea or Seoul may be made, the overall flow has been modified for clarity and comprehension. (A footnote has been included) ※ This book is available exclusively as an eBook, with a total of 49 pages in the PDF format. --- Table of Contents 0.

Download or read book The Globalisation of Real Estate written by Dallas Rogers and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Individual foreign investment in residential real estate by new middle-class and super-rich investors is re-emerging as a key issue in academic, policy and public debates around the world. At its most abstract, global real estate is increasingly thought of as a liquid asset class that is targeted by foreign individual investors who are seeking to diversify their investment portfolios. But foreign investors are also motivated by intergenerational familial security, transnational migration strategies and short-term educational plans, which are all closely entwined with global real estate investment. Government and local public responses to the latest manifestation of global real estate investment have taken different forms. These range from pro-foreign investment, primarily justified on geopolitical and macro-economic grounds, to anti-foreign investment for reasons such as mitigating public dissent and protecting the local housing market. Within this changing geopolitical context, this book offers a diverse range of case studies from Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore, Russia, Australia and Korea. It will be of interest to academics, policymakers and university students who are interested in the globalisation of local real estate. The chapters in this book were originally published in the International Journal of Housing Policy.
