FKI Holds Forum on 'Revived French Economy through Reform and Its Implications for the Korean Economy'

[Asia Economy Reporter Dongwoo Lee] The Federation of Korean Industries (FKI) announced on the 11th that it will hold an expert roundtable on the 18th at the FKI Conference Center in Yeouido under the theme "The Revival of the French Economy through Reform: Implications for the Korean Economy."

The FKI explained that French President Macron has led the revival of the French economy through reforms in various fields such as labor and pensions. Despite the global economic slowdown last year, France recorded the lowest unemployment rate since the financial crisis and maintained solid economic growth.

On the other hand, the Korean economy has shown poor performance, including continuous export declines for over a year and the lowest economic growth rate in the past decade. Through this roundtable, the FKI aims to examine France's economic reforms and explore directions for the Korean economy to rebound.

At the roundtable, Professor Hong Seong-min of Dong-A University’s Department of Political Science and Diplomacy, who earned his Ph.D. in France, will present on the background and achievements of France's economic reforms. He will discuss the future direction for the Korean economy in light of the French situation together with Kim Do-hoon, invited professor at Sogang University Graduate School of International Studies and former president of the Korea Institute for Industrial Economics and Trade. Those wishing to attend the seminar can apply through the FKI website.
