dc.description.abstractGovernment control over finance has been a persistent feature of the politco-economic
structure of Korea. This paper first seeks to explain the process in which the government's
control over finance had intensified by the late 1970s. with a focus on particular
episodes such as the dramatic interest rate reform in 1965, Emergency Decree in August
1972, and several recurring "restructuring (in effect, bail-outs)" attempts, and in relation
to the changing industrialization strategy and the consuequent relationship between the
government and chaebol. And then it will review critically the financial liberalization
policies in the 1980s: the privatization of commercialbanks, the conflict between the banks
and the non-bankfinancial intermediaries (NBFI's) in the process of the restructuring the
financial industry, and the freeing of interest rate and to "policy funds." The central
argument of this paper is that a considerable progress of financial liberalization notwithstanding,
the financial system of Korea still serves as the fulcrum of Korean industrial
policy and as a fundamental tool with which Korean policymakers can induce business
cooperation and compliance.
