Overseas direct investmentDownloadContentSummaryAfter the events of Tiananmen Square in 1989, many people doubted if China's economy could maintain reform and the open-door policy it had been pursuing for 10 years and recover the rate of FDI's increase.
Unexpectedly, the Chinese economy turned around quickly and FDI to China has increased dramatically.

Financial policy, Trade policyDownloadContentSummaryThe study is designed to analyze progress, current issues and prospects of Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) economic integration. Particular attention is paid to the implications of CIS economic integration for Korean firms.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the 11 former Soviet Republics, except Georgia, established the CIS in terms of military and alliance and economic links between them. However, the leaders of CIS countries have varied in their commitment and interest in regional economic integration, thus stifling any real progress in multilateral cooperation.
Although an agreement on establishing Interstate Bank (ISB) within CIS was concluded last year in 1993 to lay a foundation for the multilateral trading settlement system, it was not operated in practice. However, with the deepening of conflict between the conservative and revolutionary forces, CIS countries afraid of acquiring power through hard-line actions were beginnings to turn round their position. In this context, the agreement on establishing new ruble bloc and forming economic integration was concluded in the CIS summit talk in September 1993. CIS countries need to unite in a more powerful integrated grouping to achieve an upturn in the economy. -
