President Lee to Pursue '3 Core Social Policies,' Including Supply of 1.19 Million Homes and National Jobs

President Lee Jae-myung said, "We will pursue three core social policies regarding housing, jobs, and microfinance—areas that have the greatest impact on people's lives."

President Lee made the remarks today (September 29) while presiding over the 41st Cabinet meeting at Cheong Wa Dae, stating, "Despite various external difficulties, our economy is showing strong growth momentum, and we must accelerate efforts to stabilize people's livelihoods so that the warmth of growth can spread to every corner of all citizens' lives."

He explained, "In particular, we must actively utilize available financial resources and policy tools, including excess tax revenue, to ease polarization and inequality, which are key causes of public anxiety," adding, "We will concentrate available resources on supplying 1.19 million housing units under the housing stability plan, the national jobs project, and the expansion of inclusive finance."

He also urged, "Excess tax revenue, the fruit of growth and recovery achieved through the efforts of all citizens, must be actively used as seed money for tangible improvements in people's lives and the mitigation of polarization," adding, "All ministries should make every effort to swiftly advance the three core social policies."
