South Korean think tank
The Korea Institute for International Economic Policy (KIEP), established in 1989, is a government-funded economic research institute addressing the international economy and its relationship with Korea. KIEP has aimed to be a regional hub for international economic policy research and has served as a warehouse of information on Korea's international economic policies for nearly 30 years.
As a government-funded research institute, KIEP has accomplished critical research and in-depth analysis on international economic policy issues, including international macroeconomics, finance, trade and commerce, international investment, international financial cooperation, and regional studies for a variety of governmental agencies and research partners.
As an agent of KIEP in the United States, the Korea Economic Institute of America is registered under the Foreign Agents Registration Act.[1] In July 2023, Professor Siwook Lee was appointed the president of the institute.[2]
