The government will open an online channel for public input on the 14th ahead of the "national real estate grand debate" presided over by the president scheduled for the 23rd. The aim is to broadly gather opinions from people who cannot attend the debate. The government also plans to release the major topics to be discussed at the debate.
According to relevant ministries and agencies, the Ministry of Economy and Finance plans to operate an online channel for collecting opinions related to the national real estate grand debate starting today. When the ministry opens the opinion-gathering page, the Financial Services Commission and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport will also publicize it, and the submitted opinions will be divided by area of responsibility for review. Through the opinion-gathering page, the ministry also plans to provide guidance on the topics to be covered in the debate by sector, including supply, taxation, and finance.
Before announcing a comprehensive real estate policy package this month, the government will hold a series of public debates starting today. From the 14th to the 16th, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MOLIT), the Financial Services Commission (FSC), and the Ministry of Economy and Finance will each gather expert and public opinions on the themes of supply, finance, and taxation. Then on the 23rd, the national real estate grand debate will be held with the president in attendance. Ministers of relevant ministries, experts, industry officials, and members of the public will attend, and the government plans to reflect the opinions collected online in the debate and in the policy review process.
Kim Yong-beom, the presidential chief of staff for policy at the Blue House, said on the 10th about the background of holding the debate, "The government does not believe that real estate policy can be completed by the government's judgment alone. Market conditions keep changing, and the difficulties people feel are diverse," and noted, "What is needed now is not for the government to unilaterally present answers, but a process in which the public and experts work together to devise solutions."
An official at the Ministry of Economy and Finance said, "The aim is to create a channel where everyone can freely present opinions related to real estate policy."
