Issue The 2026 strategy organises policy into four areas and fifteen tasks from AI transition to a sovereign wealth fund

Summary

The strategy arranges its measures into four areas, active macroeconomic management, a rebound in potential growth, balanced growth with polarisation overcome, and strengthened foundations for the leap. These are broken down into fifteen tasks and fifty detailed tasks. Tasks for potential growth include an AI transformation and a green transformation as part of fostering national strategic industries. Productive finance measures include a roadmap for internationalising the won and a push for inclusion in the MSCI developed market index, while the leap foundation includes a new Korean sovereign wealth fund. Balanced growth tasks cover preferential treatment for regions and support for middle-aged employment and retirement income, all of which are government plans rather than outcomes.
