Especially, the 46th Trade Day event was held as a celebration and promise because Korea got 9th place in total exports in the world for the first time despite the bad condition of the domestic and outside economy.
Korea was the 12th in the export amount level last year. There were 1,504 winners of Export Tower enterprises which was 101 more than last year. There were also 876 personal winners, which was 42 more than last year. As a result, Korea also expected more than US$40 billion in trade surplus. These heroic deeds look better and more valuable because global trade had decreased around 20% because of the global finance recession.
The Ministry of Knowledge Economy and the Korea International Trade Association designated Trade Week around Trade Day (November 30) at the same time. They also held buyers meetings and an international conference.
