Global competition in PHEV production to heat up this year

January 16, 2015 by Leave a Comment

Korean companies are losing their competitiveness against those from China and Japan. After undergoing a long period of intensive restructuring, Japanese companies are putting pressure on the Korean enterprises helped by the yen’s slide. Meanwhile, Chinese companies with enhanced technical prowess are capitalizing on its huge local market to catch up with their Korean rivals.

Korea, right before the financial crisis in 1997, had been likened to nuts that are squeezed in a nutcracker, as it was losing its competitiveness between high-tech Japan and low-cost China. From this perspective, the Korean economy is now stuck in a new “nutcracker,” according to market experts recently.

Industry sources report that Japanese companies equipped with core technology and competitiveness in materials, are making a return to the global market. Japan, from the first, had a competitive edge in basic science and advanced technology, but could not fully demonstrate it because of political unrest and restructuring.

But, they have now begun full-fledged efforts to target the global market after wrapping up the restructuring process. Backed by the so-called “Abenomics,” Japanese companies now have greater competitiveness in export prices due to the government’s full support and the yen’s slide, to expand their global presence at an accelerated pace. The worlds’ third-largest economy’s shipbuilding industry is generating profits with the focus on high valueadded shipbuilding production, which demands advanced technology.

Korea-Vietnam FTA will be beneficial for Korean exporters from a long-term perspective

January 16, 2015 by Leave a Comment

Korea has recently concluded a free trade agreement (FTA) with Vietnam. The FTA is expected to ensure the wider access of Korean-made automobile parts, cosmetics, and home appliances to the notably growing market. According to official data released by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (MOTIE), Korea, thanks to the FTA, will open 94.7 percent of its import market to Vietnam, while the Southeast Asian nation will open 92.2 percent.

The Korean government said it decided to eliminate tariffs on 495 Vietnamese goods within the next 14 years. It will lift tariffs on 76 items when the deal comes into effect, which requires approval from the National Assembly. Vietnam will do away with tariffs on 200 Korean products in phases over the next two ten years.

A spokesperson of the Ministry said “Korea, according to the pact, will open its market first to Vietnam in the short term, but from the long-term perspective, the FTA will eventually help Korean businesses secure the Vietnamese consumption market.”

Vietnam will firmly play a pivotal role in the Korean exporters’ global expansion, as a strong facilitator. Vietnam will abolish tariffs currently set at 20 to 35 percent on home appliances made by Korean companies within 10 years, which will offer the products stronger competitiveness in the market.

Thanks to the popularity of K-pop and drama stars, home appliances such as TVs, refrigerators, air conditioners, and rice cookers are popular among Vietnamese consumers. Vietnamese consumers are also big fans of Korean cosmetics because they want to follow the style of Korean singers and actresses.

Tariffs of 10 to 20 percent on automobile parts will also be removed over a 15 years period, permitting Korean auto part makers to export more to the nation, which is home to production lines of global automakers. Some cargo trucks and cars will also be subject to tariffs cuts. Tariffs on tires, textile and train parts will also be lifted gradually, which will make Korean manufacturers more competitive against their Japanese rivals. The world’s third-largest economy signed an FTA with Vietnam in 2009, but maintains tariffs on these products. Korean consumers are expected to be able to buy clothing from foreign brands and tropical fruits at lower prices.

When the FTA comes into effect, about 20-type of apparels including socks, shirts, blouses, jackets and coats made in Vietnam will be imported to Korea tarifffree. Now, a 13 percent import tax is imposed on those products. Clothes are Vietnam’s second largest selling product in Korea. It is likely that prices of foreign apparel brands with factories in Vietnam, such as North Face and Uniqlo, will fall.

The Korea-Vietnam FTA is broader than the recently concluded FTA with China in terms of opening agricultural and fisheries trade. Korea will remove tariffs on Vietnamese crops and fishery products in three to five years. Import taxes on fruit like pineapples and mangoes will be abolished in 10 years. Rice, squid, cutlassfish and mackerel, which are very popular in Korea, will keep their tariff levels. Korea has been exporting chips, mobile device parts, synthetic resins, plastics and commercial vehicles while importing clothes, shoes and wood from Vietnam.

ASEAN nations to eliminate more tariffs

January 16, 2015 by Leave a Comment

Korean companies are expected to be exempted from the burden of tariffs when they export automotives and various kinds of related component products to the six major countries in ASEAN as early as next year. This is because the Korean government and ASEAN’s six nations recently agreed to massively abolish the exception items of the Korea-ASEAN free trade agreement (FTA).

The government through the summit with presidents of ASEAN held last month scored a notable accomplishment focusing on elevating the utilization of the Korea-ASEAN FTA. Korea and 10 ASEAN nations have so far been subject to the MFN, so high tariffs on Korea’s major export items including autos existed under the FTA, which was effectuated in 2009.

As much as 38 percent of low utilization of the FTA among those nations is attributable to the compromise. But, six ASEAN nations mutually agreed to eliminate the MFN. Korea was also determined to participate in such movement.

Korea’s determination to become a member of TPP

January 16, 2015 by Leave a Comment

Korea is preparing to join the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) according to data recently released by the Korea International Trade Association (KITA).

According to Korea, by joining the partnership, could accomplish a 2.2 percent increase in gross domestic product by 2025. The TPP consists of 12 member countries, including the United States, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Chile, Peru, Brunei, Vietnam, Malaysia and Mexico.

The members account for about 37 percent of the world’s GDP and 30 percent of foreign direct investment. The agency recently released its official estimation that the TPP could help Korea be more price-competitive with longtime rival Japan.

Korea already has massive demand from the 12 TPP members for completed products worth $9 trillion and materials and parts worth $2.2 trillion, also forecasting an obvious challenge – Japan can only obviously gain many benefits from trading with TPP member countries as the nation also manufactures similar products to Korea’s.

TPP countries will not levy tariffs on materials and intermediate goods produced by each other. According to KITA, TPP members procure about 5 percent of their intermediate goods such as materials and parts from Korea and 6 percent from Japan. And this year, KITA has a positive forecast on Korean trade, with exports estimated to jump 4.3 percent to break the $600 billion mark for the first time and imports forecast to jump 5.5 percent to $557 billion.
