            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>

The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) announced the
results of the 2023 Product Market Regulation (PMR) indicator on July 10.
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).

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).
