WHAT IS KEI?
 The Korea Economic Institute (KEI) was established in 1982 as a not-for-profit educational organization to promote economic dialogue and understanding between the United States and Korea. Although KEI began by focusing its efforts primarily in the economic area, its scope of activity embraces all aspects of the U.S.-Korea relationship. KEI's mission is:
- To educate Americans on developments in Korea and U.S.-Korea relations;
- To serve as a resource center for up-to-date information on Korean economic trends; and
- To keep Korean policy and research officials informed of key developments and attitudes regarding public policy issues of interest and importance to Korea.
KEI's two primary functions are as follows:
