Abstract

Korea's overseas construction awards reached US $750 bn for more than 50 years since it first entered the market in 1966. In particular, the company won US $540 bn over 10 years from 2007, achieving 72% of the total contracts. However, in recent two years, awarded amounts have decreased by 40% each year. The most significant decline is due to the impact of international oil prices, which have plummeted since end of 2014, as oil-producing nations, which are Korea's major target countries, are struggling to cancel or postpone infrastructure orders. In order to lessen the impact of raw material price fluctuations, the recent trend is that even countries with relatively loose government financing conditions are rapidly changing their ordering methods to investment development forms such as PPP. The Korean government and companies have been already preparing for this for several years, but they are still not doing so well. The main reason is the lack of understanding about the investment development type project, especially financing methods and the aggravated fear of exposing it to various risks due to the characteristics of the development project, which takes a long time to collect the investment. In this paper, I propose a more systematic solution to financial process and risk management, which is recognized as a obstructive factor for Korean companies, in line with the recent government-led establishment of overseas infrastructure development support organizations. I would like to serve as a investment guide.

우리나라 해외건설 수주는 1966년 최초진출이후 50여년 동안 누적 수주 7,500억 달러를 달성했으며, 특히 2007년 이후 10년간 5,400억 달러를 수주하여 전체 수주액의 72%를 이 시기에 달성하였다. 하지만 최근 2년 동안 매년 전년대비 40%씩 수주액이 감소하고 있다. 가장 주된 감소요인은 2014년말 이후 급락하기 시작한 국제유가의 영향으로 우리나라의 주요 진출국가인 산유국들이 인프라 발주를 취소하거나 연기하면서 어려움을 겪고 있다. 이처럼 원자재 가격의 급등락에 따른 영향을 덜 받기 위해 최근 트랜드는 정부재정여건이 상대적으로 넉넉한 국가들까지도 발주방식을 PPP와 같은 투자개발형태로 급속히 바꾸고 있다는 점에 주목할 필요가 있다. 우리 정부 및 기업들도 이미 수년전부터 이에 대한 준비를 하고는 있었으나, 아직도 이렇다 할 성과를 보이지 못하고 있다. 주된 원인은 여전히 투자개발형사업에 대한 이해 특히 금융조달에 대한 이해가 부족하며, 투자금 회수까지 장기간 소요되는 개발사업 특성상 다양한 리스크에 노출되는 것에 대한 막연한 두려움으로 인해 보다 공격적인 투자결정을 하지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 최근 정부 주도의 해외 인프라개발 지원기구 설립 움직임에 맞춰 우리기업의 진출 장애요인으로 인식되고 있는 금융조달 및 리스크 관리 방안에 대해 보다 체계적인 접근방법을 제시함으로써 이 분야에 대한 수주확대로 이어질 수 있는 투자 가이드 역할을 하고자 하였다.
