Song Kyung-ho, Research Analyst at Korea Institute of Public Finance

From Sommelier to animal psychotherapist, the era of specialists has come.

In 2011, there are 286 state-owned entities in South Korea. Putting aside the issue on the scope and number of state-owned entities, they are vital to the functioning of the economy.

We are faced the following circumstances. A growing emphasis on public policies to promptly respond to the recent global financial crisis. Legitimate adjustments to public policies effectively resolving problems related to the current downturn such as undergrowth, intensified global competition and a deteriorating labor market. An increased demand for a customized management system respecting the different characteristics and roles of individual SOEs

In order to cope with the recent situation, the Research Center for State-Owned Entities, the expert on SOEs, was organized. The Research Center for State-Owned Entities currently belongs to Korea Institute of Public Finance subject to the law 'ACT ON THE MANAGEMENT OF PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS'.

Implications

Today, few are be able to believe that government officers know everything about public policies and are able to make the right decision every single time. Instead, the objective analysis of experts plays a vital role in conducting public policies. The power of central Government is shrinking and being transfered to the public, which is called decentralization. As a result, the importance of SOEs in the economy has been and will continue to be emphasized. The  Research Center for State-Owned Entities is expected to make a great contribution as an expert of South Korea SOEs.
