  • Korea Real Estate Market Report
    Vol. 5 Korea Real Estate Market Report 2016 Real Estate Market Trends and 2017 Outlook Real Estate Research Institute of KAB KAB Real Estate Market Report Greetings This is the fifth volume of the Korea Appraisal Board (KAB) Real Estate Market Report (2016 Real Estate Market Trends and 2017 Outlook). With the enactment of the Korea Appraisal Board Act in September 2016, KAB has undergone a transformation from an organization specializing in real estate appraisal to an organization dedicated to real estate market surveys and management as well as making announcements of official land value and related statistics. Maintaining order and stability in the Korean real estate market is an especially important task undertaken by KAB. The KAB Real Estate Market Report published semiannually in the first and second halves of the year provides reliable information on the real estate market including the future outlook, based on comprehensive and in-depth analyses of the current trends, with the aim of ensuring order in the real estate market. The real estate market in Korea in 2016 became more stable compared to the previous year due to the influence of the economic slowdown and the new loan restriction policy concerning tighter loan review regulations. Notable trends in the year included the overheated pre-construction parceling-out market for the Gangnam reconstruction projects and the rise in housing prices in the Seoul Capital Area; however, following the announcement of the real estate policy on November 3, 2016 speculative investments declined, and the market became more stabilized centering on actual demand. Also, in some of the regions outside the Seoul Capital Area, real estate prices began to be on a downturn as a result of an industrial recession and increased housing supply.

  • 2011 JOINT CONSULTING PROJECTS with WB Case Studies
    2011 JOINT CONSULTING PROJECTS WITH WB Case Studies of Korea’s Public-Private Partnership 1 2011 JOINT CONSULTING PROJECTS WITH World Bank (WB) 1. Overview 1.1. Project Background and Objective 1.1.1. Project background Between 2004 and 2011, the Korean Ministry of Strategy and Finance (MOSF) had provided customized policy consulting services for nearly 300 projects in 34 countries as part of the Knowledge Sharing Program (KSP). In 2011, the MOSF newly launched KSP joint consulting with Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs)1, developing the former bilateral partnership (between Korea and a partner country) to a trilateral partnership (among Korea, international organizations and a partner country). In this process, the MOSF concluded a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with five MDBs and established a foundation for joint consulting. In accordance with the MOU, the MOSF implemented KSP joint consulting through discussion with the MDBs including WB, ADB and IDB. KSP is a development partnership project that facilitates economic and social growth of developing countries by sharing Korea's experiences; offering policy research, consulting service and training programs customized to the recipient countries' demand and conditions; and supporting their institution-building and capacity-building efforts. The trilateral KSP, developed from the bilateral KSP, can benefit from regional expertise of the MDBs as well as Korea's experiences of economic development and provide customized consulting service to countries in need. Therefore, it will create synergy effects and deepen a cooperative partnership with the MDBs and with developing countries. 1.1.2. Project objective As part of KSP-MDB joint consulting project, the MOSF and World Bank Institute (WBI) 2 agreed to conduct case studies of successful Public Private Partnership (PPP) in Korea.

  • Introduction of Rapid Urban Railway System -Construction of Subway Line 9
    Introduction of Rapid Urban Railway System -Construction of Subway Line 9 Introduction of Rapid Urban Railway System - Construction of Subway Line 9 Written by: Seoul Institute Dr. Seung-Jun Kim & Dr. Joon-Ho Ko Policy Area: Urban Railway (Metro) Background of Construction of Subway Line 9 Since the 1950s, the population of Seoul has undergone such explosive growth, that it rose by 630% by 1990. Even in the early 1990s, the population continued to increase. Though the 2nd phase of construction of subway lines was in progress at that time, the need to carry on the 3rd phase of construction was raised for the first time in 1991, because of this explosive growth. In November 1993, a basic plan for the 5 subway lines including new construction of subway line 9~12 and the extension of subway line 3 was announced. At that time, the transport share of the subway lines was 32%. The goal of the basic plan was to raise the transport share to 75% after completion of the 3rd phase of construction of subway lines. The 1995 explosion accident that occurred in the Daegu subway1 caused all subway lines under construction or on the plan list to go through reevaluation of their plans or adjustment of construction periods before construction could be started or resumed, according to the government policies. This caused the completion of the 2nd phase of construction to be delayed. The start of the 3rd phase of construction was scheduled in 1996, but was postponed to 1998 or later because the policy on financing method could not be established in time.
