As the global economy navigates shifting geopolitical and economic conditions, South Korea remains a reliable foreign direct investment (FDI) destination, consistently attracting investors worldwide. While the global FDI decreased by 8% in 2024, South Korea’s FDI recorded a 5.67% increase, totaling USD 34.57 billion, according to statistics provided by the Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy (MOTIE). The Korean government’s recent 2025 economic policy, published by the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MOEF) in January, outlines expanded cash subsidies, tax incentives, and financial support programs that further encourage foreign investments.
