Macroeconomic trends in the Kim Jong-un era : continuation or break?

And the way of understanding the shift varies on which side you stand. In this context, the KDI Review of the North Korean Economy September edition chose "Macroeconomic Trends in the Kim Jong-un Era: Continuation or Break" as the first theme of its new section, 'Dialogue.' The section covers expert interviews devoted to exploring fundamental and diverse research questions about the North Korean economy in the aspects of economics.
