Regulatory reform, Multilateral negotiationsDownloadContentSummaryDomestic regulations have a profound effect on services trade. A major challenge for the GATS is how to design rules that prevent the protectionist use of domestic regulations but do not deprive regulators of the freedom they need to pursue legitimate objectives. Members of the World Trade Organization (WTO) have agreed that a central task in the ongoing set of services negotiations will be to further develop rules to ensure that domestic regulations support rather than impede the opening of services markets to trade and investment. Since these rules are bound to have a significant effect on the evolution of domestic services policy, it is important that they will be conducive to economically rational policymaking while preserving the regulatory autonomy required to pursue and achieve domestic policy objectives. This paper provides an introduction to the discussions of domestic regulation in the WTO and aims to develop effective strategies, from the Korean point of view, for ongoing discussions. -

ReferencesSummaryWe provide an in-depth analysis of the exchange rate reform program undertaken by India in recent years. The actions of India's central bank, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), during this key reform period are evaluated in this study as well. In addition, this paper, using a sector price differential model, analyzes the fundamental determinants of the Indian rupee-U.S. dollar exchange rates. Lately, Indian policymakers and Reserve Bank officials appear to have taken steps designed to increase the overall credibility of the exchange rate regime. Our analysis suggests that the reform policies have generally been quite effective. We also feel that the RBI should adopt further liberalization program, being mindful, however, of the potential for severe exchange rate volatility and monetary instability in the face of increasing capital mobility and international integration. -

AnnexSummaryGiven the increasing importance of capital market development for financial stability and multilateral cooperation for sustained growth, a country's choice of exchange rate regime is hardly trivial. Instead of relying on a series of individually managed floats, it would be better for each country to target its currency against a basket of other currencies. A still much better alternative would be to form a regional block, which would tie Asian currencies together and create a regional currency while allowing them to float against major currencies.

Economic opening, Multilateral negotiationsDownloadContentSummaryThe DDA (Doha Development Agenda) negotiations, the 9th Multilateral trade round, has focused on nine sectors including agriculture, non-agricultural market access, and services. The DDA, which has been deadlocked since failure in Cancun, recovered its momentum when the July Package was adopted in August 2004. Since then, member countries have intensified negotiations in order to reduce gaps between countries' perspective. Although most attention has been focused on farm trade, non-agricultural market access, and services, the negotiators have been at loggerheads over how to free agricultural trade, and have made little progress on the liberalization of services and industrial goods.On December 13, the world's trade ministers gathered in Hong Kong to advance the DDA negotiations. Although progress in Hong Kong will not be easy, Korea, heavily dependent upon foreign trade, must closely observe the ministerial conference in Hong Kong and prepare for the future developments of the Doha round.
