▶ Overview of the North Korea Business Center

Samjong KPMG launched its “North Korea Business Center” in June 2014 to support businesses engaging in inter-Korean economic cooperation and business projects. The center is comprised of more than thirty experts from the fields of audit, tax, advisory and consulting, ready to deliver entry strategies, insights on project feasibility, financing as well as advisory services on development and investment to clients as “North Korea Business Advisors”.

 

▶ Providing a Primer on doing Business with North Korea

As the industry expert, Samjong KPMG recognized the significance and potential of inter-Korean economic cooperation. After two years of consultation and research, the center’s endeavors were materialized by the publication of the “Business Strategy in North Korea” in April 2018. As the product of consolidated effort by thirty task force members, twenty industry-specific writing staff, outside advisors and personnel with hands-on experience with inter-Korean business enterprises, the book functions both as a consulting report and a strategy guide that lays out phased strategies per developments in the inter-Korean economic cooperation.
