The five policy institutes of political party and the NAFI have been jointly conducting research on ways to increase the National Assembly credibility since the beginning of this year. Based on these achievements, the presidents from the five policy institutes of political party and the president of the NAFI invited the Speaker of the National Assembly Moon Hee-Sang for a luncheon in early July to discuss future cooperation plans. As a result of the discussion, the five policy institutes of political party and the NAFI agreed to establish a multilateral cooperation system with research institutes affiliated with local governments in the future. This joint forum is the first implementation based on consensus in early July.

The joint forum will be led by the president of the Korean Association for Local Government Studies Jung Jeong-Hwa  (professor of Kangwon National University), and be conducted in order of two topic presentations on decentralization and fiscal decentralization and comprehensive discussion. Regarding decentralization, Senior Research Fellow of Gyeonggi Research Institute Sung-Ho Sung will give a presentation on the decentralization strategy to improve national competitiveness under the theme of “decentralization and improving national competitiveness”. It says that decentralization will boost regional economy, ease regional gaps and improve government efficiency.

Regarding fiscal decentralization, Senior Research Fellower of Kangwon Research Institute Kim Ju-Won and Associate Research Fellow of Kangwon Research Institute Jeon Ji-Sung will give a presentation under the theme of “regional issues of fiscal decentralization and countermeasures”. It says that in order to respond to changes in conditions in a timely manner,  it is important to reflect regional characteristics when securing autonomy in budget planning.

This is the first time in the history of parliamentary government that policy research institutes affiliated with the ruling and opposition parties and national urban/ regional development institutes jointly hold a policy forum. With this joint forum involving national urban /regional development institutes, it is expected that it will lay the foundation for a policy development network where the central and local governments work together. The NAFI plans to continuously develop joint forums with the five policy institutes of political party and the Korea Association of Regional Development Institute.
