美索3500亿 韩国为何硬气拒签

Group 1 - The U.S. proposed to reduce tariffs on South Korean imports from 25% to 15%, contingent on South Korea committing $350 billion to specific industries, which South Korea found unacceptable [1] - South Korea's economy is significantly smaller than Japan's, with a GDP of about half and foreign reserves of $416 billion, which is less than one-third of Japan's [1] - The proposed investment amount represents 84% of South Korea's foreign reserves, raising concerns about the potential economic crisis if the agreement is accepted [1] Group 2 - The South Korean won is not freely convertible, lacking reserve currency status, which limits South Korea's risk hedging capabilities [2] - The majority of the $350 billion investment must be raised through loans and guarantees from South Korean institutions, with only a small portion available for direct equity financing [2] - South Korean companies have announced an additional $150 billion investment to negotiate better terms, including a $50 billion order for Boeing aircraft, but this is insufficient to alleviate immediate financial pressures [2]
