Burson-Marsteller began working with the Ministry of Finance and Economy The Ministry of Finance and Economy is the name of various finance ministries:
  • Ministry of Finance and Economy (Armenia)
  • Ministry of Finance and Economy (South Korea)
 of the Republic of Korea in early 1998, at the beginning of the financial turmoil. Together they successfully communicated the government's reform plan to the international economic community and differentiated Korea from other nations in crisis. Today, Korea's stock market is up over 45 percent in dollar terms compared to a year ago. Media and other commentators have lauded Korea's commitment to reform and recovery. The Wall Street Journal recently noted that the "open attitude (of the Ministry of Finance and Economy) was a big hit with investors."

"The Sovereign Economic Communications program conducted for the Korean Government is unique in the industry," said Chris Komisarjevsky, chief executive officer, Burson-Marsteller Worldwide. "Few, if any, communications firms have the breadth of knowledge of the issues affecting the global financial markets, nor the worldwide network of professionals, as does Burson-Marsteller."

"This award and Korea's success in communicating its economic reform plan provide compelling evidence of our expertise and leadership in helping governments address critical economic issues," said Gerry Elias, the New York-based Director of B-M's Sovereign Economic Communications Group. "We have seen with the Asian financial crisis that a country's economic health is driven in large part by perceptions. We developed the Sovereign Economic Communications product with the idea that by taking control of the dialogue and managing these perceptions we can generate tangible economic benefits for a country."
