Abstract

As the one of the ways to secure the resources supply, the Korean government has promoted the overseas resources development policy from the 1970’s. In consequence of this policy, the Korean companies have invested a total of $10.4billion (369 Projects) until 2006 years. However, the share of resources supply through the overseas resources development project still keeps a low level. For example, the share of oil supply from the overseas direct investment project was only 2.8% in 2006, and that of natural gas was 4.5% in the same year. Recently, being increased the price of natural resources, the Korean government has tried to establish the 3rd national program for overseas resources development (2007-2016) in last August. In this program, strategic minerals (oil, natural gas, coal, uranium etc.) and the target of overseas resources development were decided, and the various action plans to realize the objects was proposed.
