South Korea’s Financial Services Commission (FSC) unveiled on Tuesday its 2025 work plan, aiming to stabilize markets, ease financial burdens and drive innovation. Key measures include a $69-billion (100-trillion won) Market Stabilization Program, raising deposit protection limits to $69,000 (100 million won) and injecting $93.7 billion (136 trillion won) into strategic sectors like semiconductors and green technologies, with 60% of funds deployed in the first half of the year.

The FSC also outlined measures to ease debt burdens for small businesses and low-income households through expanded credit and restructuring programs. To modernize finance, it plans to overhaul fintech regulations, bolster digital security laws and expand AI integration. Efforts to combat illegal lending and unfair financial practices will include stricter enforcement and enhanced public education campaigns.
