Japanese firms presently are the largest foreign suppliers to Korea and the source of over 35% of all imports in 1999. One reason the Japanese enjoy a substantial market share is due to the abolishment of the Korean government's "Import Diversification Program", which ended on June 30, 1999. This program had been in place to "redress the trade imbalance between Korea and Japan", and had resulted in numerous restrictions on imports from that country. (references) | ||
