Event Details
South Korea, a vibrant democracy and the world's 11th largest economy, gears up for its Parliamentary Elections on April 10, 2024. With 300 seats up for grabs and the two major parties being virtually neck-and-neck, the election results will be unpredictable until polling day. Adding a layer of complexity is the emergence of a third party backed by former political leaders, something not seen since 2016. Shocking events have also marked this election for the history books, with scandals and assassination attempts marring the election process.
The outcome of the Parliamentary elections will have significant implications for the country in multiple domains. For one, it will affect how the country balances its relationship between the U.S. and China. This can impact businesses industry-wide, particularly those in exporting and defense. It will also influence overall political stability in the country; if the opposition wins, the government will be gridlocked. In addition, the outcome will be a bellwether of the results of Korea's Presidential Elections in 2027.
Join AmCham as we hear from key experts on the upcoming legislative election and its impact on the country's business outlook and foreign policy.
