서비스업 외국인투자지역 제도의 쟁점 분석 및 효율적 운영 방안에 관한 연구 = A Study on the Foreign Investment Zones for Service Industries in Korea

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study deals with main issues regarding Foreign Investment Zones for Service Industries (FIZSI) in Korea. The FIZSI was newly introduced in 2010 to promote foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows into Korea. Based on previous Foreign Investment Zone (FIZ) schemes for manufacturing industries, the Korean government adopted various requirements for designating the FIZSI, such as qualifying sub-sectors in high value added service industries, the minimum occupancy rate of eligible foreign invested companies, investment incentives, and the rules of revocation. This study analyses possible problems and policy suggestions in operating the FIZSI schemes.
Regarding the qualifying sectors for the FIZSI the study suggests that general commercial sectors should be also included, but restrictively, into the eligible subsectors list, because the FIZSI might be located in the city center areas, and should accompany facilities for general commercial activities. The minimum occupancy rate of 50 percent of foreign invested companies in FIZSI should be lowered progressively to the size of FIZSI, because large size FIZSIs in the city center cannot afford to meet this rate. The study also suggests that similar tax incentives provided to FDI in existing manufacturing FIZs, should be applied to FIZSI. Lastly, it also proposes that the maximum one year period of fulfilling the requirements, which are not met after designating FIZSI, should be extended up to two years, considering that companies generally plan investment annually, and targeting and attracting the FDI take time more than one year.
The problems expected in implementing the FIZSI seem to be mainly caused by the enactment of the FIZSI scheme by using the existing manufacturing FIZ system. Therefore, this study suggests that the Korean investment zone policy for attracting FDI in higher value added service sectors has to be formulated in entirely new ways.
