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.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>WHY IT MATTERS<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The FSC\u2019s roadmap comes amid an unprecedented political crisis following President Yoon Suk-yeol\u2019s impeachment over his failed martial law declaration. The fallout has shaken consumer confidence, driven currency volatility and heightened uncertainty over South Korea\u2019s economic policies. These headwinds risk derailing the FSC\u2019s efforts to stabilize markets and reassure investors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the same time, South Korea\u2019s economy faces mounting challenges, with GDP growth forecast to dip below 2% in 2025. Declining exports, pressured by China\u2019s dominance in semiconductors and electric vehicles, and weak domestic demand further compound the situation. While the FSC\u2019s initiatives aim to stabilize markets and restore confidence, the effectiveness of these measures remain to be seen as they face political headwinds.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-tags\"><a href=\"https:\/\/koreapro.org\/tag\/business-economy\/\"><span class=\"tag\">Business &amp; Economy<\/span><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/koreapro.org\/tag\/domestic-politics\/\"><span class=\"tag\">Domestic Politics<\/span><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>South Korea\u2019s Financial Services Commission (FSC) unveiled on Tuesday its 2025 work plan, aiming to stabilize markets, ease financial burdens and drive innovation.
