Imagining an Open North Korea

Business Daily

Available for over a year

Would you invest in North Korea? US President Donald Trump raised the idea at his summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un. His vision of a private condo on a North Korean beach is probably a long way away, but there are plenty of other countries lacking investment. Paul Domjan, global head of research at Exotix, an investment firm and research agency, explains what a frontier market is. Byung-Yeon Kim, professor of economics at Seoul National University, tells us how North Korea’s economy works.
