NK Insider

미국 인권재단 (HRF)은 작년에 이어 올해에도 시민단체에 북한 인권 향상을 위한 기금을 지원하게 되어 기쁘게 생각합니다.

본 기금은 북한 인권 향상을 위해 노력하는 한국 기반 시민단체들과의 파트너십을 통해, 폐쇄 사회에서 인권과 민주주의를 보호하고 증진하는 HRF의 사명에 부합하는 소규모이면서도 효과적인 프로젝트를 지원하는 것을 목표로 합니다.

Foreign Currency is Now the Key to North Korea’s Survival 

Shin Yong-geon

Despite being closed off from the world, politically and economically, North Korea cannot survive without foreign currency. This, of course, applies to some degree to all countries in the international trading system. But ever since the 1994-1998 famine – which North Koreans refer to as the ‘Arduous March’ – foreign currency earning in the country has taken on a unique character. Not only has it become the key to the country’s continued survival. But the system itself that depends on it can no longer be considered normal.

North Korea Has Cash Cards?

Lee Jia

“There are cash cards in North Korea?” When I tell people that there are cash cards in North Korea, they look surprised.

In fact, North Korea has had cash cards since 2005, when the North East Asia Bank (a joint bank now called the KKG Bank) issued the Sili Card, which was mainly used by foreigners and the upper class when they paid merchants.
