由于外界对韩国作出的改革努力和对其未来的发展前景持积极评价的态度,外国投资者对韩国经济的看法正在明显转为乐观。 一些国际上知名的投资银行及证券行(比如梅里尔林奇银行)最近均认为韩国是一个大有希望的市场,并正在增加对韩国的投资。 梅里尔林奇银行的专家指出,由于劳工、管理部门和政府之间就推动经济改革一事成功地达成协议,因此曾一度高升至25％的短期利率现已降至7％左右。《华尔街日报》也报道说,欧洲的养老金和资金管理人甚至开始把他们的资金从其他一些国家抽出来,以增加在亚洲的投资。
Foreign investors’ views on the Korean economy are clearly turning optimistic as a result of external reform and opening-up of South Korea and its positive assessment of its future prospects. Some internationally renowned investment banks and securities firms (such as Merrill Lynch) recently considered South Korea a promising market and are investing more in South Korea. Merrill Lynch experts say short-term interest rates, which had soared to 25%, have now dropped to around 7% as a result of the successful agreement between the labor, regulatory and government authorities on economic reforms. The Wall Street Journal also reported that pensioners and money managers in Europe even started to withdraw their funds from other countries to increase their investment in Asia.
