transport, and e-communications sectors are higher than the OECD average. Obtaining licenses and permits can be cumbersome for businesses as its licensing regime is more burdensome than the average OECD economy. In terms of regulations of
lobbying activities, Korea is rated highly (8</span><sup><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">th</span></sup><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> in OECD), though transparency requirements imposed on public
officials involved in the regulatory process have room for further improvement. Strict regulations are observed in the service sectors such as energy, fixed e-communications, transport sectors (excluding air transport), retail sale of
medicines, and professional services (lawyers, accountants, architects, real estate agents).</span></p>

Korea’s PMR indicator reached the OECD average level for the first time in history and ranked 20th* among 38 OECD member states, marking its highest position ever. When including 9 non-OECD countries, Korea ranked 22nd out of 47 countries. * Compared to the 2018 PMR result, where Korea ranked 33rd, the overall ranking has improved by 13 places. (Note: The methodology used in this evaluation differ slightly from those used in 2018.) ※ The stronger the regulation, the lower the PMR ranking (If ranked 1st, regulations are the least stringent; If ranked 38th, regulations are the most stringent) By categories, the ‘Distortions Induced by State Involvement’ ranked 21st, and ‘Barriers to Domestic and Foreign Entry’ ranked 25th, both nearing the median level among OECD countries. By indicators, Korea received positive assessments in regulations impact evaluation (3rd), administrative and regulatory burden (14th), and distortions induced by public ownership (15th) while ranking lower in barriers in service and network sectors (24th), involvement in business operations (36th), as well as barriers to trade and investment (36th). < Rankings by Key Indicators > Distortions Induced by State Involvement Barriers to Domestic and Foreign Entry Distortions Induced by Public Ownership Involvement in Business Operations Regulations Impact Evaluation Administrative and Regulatory Burden Barriers in Service & Network Sectors Barriers to Trade and Investment 2023 15th 36th 3rd 14th 24th 36th Overall, OECD has assessed that competitive product markets can boost productivity, employment, and living standards and Korea’s product market regulation indicator is close to the OECD average. To be specific, Korea’s regulatory barriers to entry and competition in the energy, transport, and e-communications sectors are higher than the OECD average. Obtaining licenses and permits can be cumbersome for businesses as its licensing regime is more burdensome than the average OECD economy. In terms of regulations of lobbying activities, Korea is rated highly (8th in OECD), though transparency requirements imposed on public officials involved in the regulatory process have room for further improvement. Strict regulations are observed in the service sectors such as energy, fixed e-communications, transport sectors (excluding air transport), retail sale of medicines, and professional services (lawyers, accountants, architects, real estate agents). < Changes in PMR Rankings of OECD Member States > Country Ranking 1998 2003 2008 2013 2018a 2023 OECD member states 28 30 30 34 38 38 The United Kingdom 1 1 2 2 1 4 France 18 17 15 22 29 11 Germany 15 19 8 7 4 16 Korea 21 22 26 31 33 20 Japan 13 4 9 16 23 29 The United States 3 5 21 27 34 32 a.
