Regarding the ‘Public Participation National Growth Fund’, which will be sold starting on the 22nd, President Lee Jae-myung urged more citizens to participate, saying, “It will be a reliable priming that spreads productive finance and contributes to the development of future high-tech industries and the stable increase of people’s assets.”
President Lee held a meeting of presidential chiefs and aides at the Blue House on this day and said, “The citizen participation-type national growth fund, which is intended to grow high-tech strategic industries through the hands of the people and share the fruits and opportunities of growth with the people, will be sold starting on the 22nd.” President Lee said, “Currently, the world is waging a silent war for leadership in the future economy and industry. In this situation, the people’s active investment and participation in the growth of high-tech industries will provide new and dynamic vitality to our industry.”
President Lee emphasized, “Growth that does not share results with the people is not sustainable,” and added, “The creation of the National Growth Fund will be a strong priming that spreads productive finance and contributes to the development of future high-tech industries and the stable increase of the people’s assets.” At the same time, he asked the staff, “Please conduct thorough publicity during the remaining period so that more citizens can participate in the path toward everyone’s growth and share in the resulting fruits, and please carefully look into whether there are any institutional shortcomings.”
At the meeting that day, President Lee reaffirmed his emergency response posture to face the aftermath of the war in the Middle East. President Lee said, “As the instability of international oil prices continues, price pressure is increasing. Thanks to the government’s active price management, the price increase is relatively small compared to other major countries, but that does not mean we can relax.” He continued, “If the rise in prices continues, the shock to the overall livelihood of the people will increase and consumer sentiment will weaken, putting a great burden on the economic recovery,” he said. “Now is the time to make price stability a top priority and mobilize all means to stabilize the supply and demand of major items along with supply chain management for crude oil and key raw materials.”
President Lee said, “It is unknown how long the war will last, but the future of our economy will change depending on how we overcome this crisis. The ground hardens after the rain, and in fact, this crisis may strengthen our economy. I think it is all up to us.” He added, “I once again ask that the people, businesses, and government all work together as one in the future as they have done so far.”
