Korea nears milestone on opening markets

Article Abstract:

South Korea marks another monumental event in its history, as it seeks to complete a trade liberalization program with Japanese counterparts. The program, to be accomplished in May 1999, would allow Japanese manufacturing companies in 16 key product categories including consumer electronics, automobiles and machine tools, to conduct trade with South Korean business enterprises. However, Japanese traders expressed little enthusiasm over the program, citing South Korea's declining stock markets and worsening economy.
