‘Making South Korea’s Service Sector More Competitive’ The British Embassy and Ministry of Strategy and Finance (MoSF) are holding a half day seminar on ’Making South Korea’s Service Sector More Competitive’ on 28 November 2008. In recent years South Korea’s service sector has developed fast. In 2007, the sector accounted for 57.6% of GDP and 66.7% of employment. In order to help Korea’s economy overcome the impacts of the current economic downturn, the Ministry of Strategy and Finance has called for the service sector to become an engine for growth, aiming to improve the business environment and the sector’s productivity. South Korea has to meet the challenges of competition if it is to become a world leader in the service sector as it has in the manufacturing sector. The UK’s service sector competitiveness has improved dramatically over the last 20 years. We would like to take the opportunity of this seminar to share UK and Korean experiences in the service sector. This seminar will review the business environment, expertise and future plans for developing a world class service sector.
