Event Overview
The recent boom in the Japanese stock market and the growth of the Japanese economy have been attributed to the efforts of the government and companies, such as steadily improving the constitution of companies and efforts to solve population problems.
We believe that the Korean economy also needs to make efforts to secure competitiveness while adapting to the changing world situation quickly.
The Asia Business Daily will invite the most influential people, including financial experts, scholars, and public officials, to analyze major issues in the domestic and foreign financial markets and seek the direction of growth in Korean financial sector under the theme of “Japan is awakening – what are the secrets of its stock market revival?“
