Additional Support Measures to Encourage Exports

The Korean government's Emergency Economic Ministers Committee (led by the Ministry of Economy and Finance) announced Additional Support Measures to Encourage Exports, a portfolio of policy measures aimed at boosting export competitiveness through a combination of deregulatory measures, financing support, and government grants. 

Measures include both general support that apply to a wide range of industries; and specific funding measures aimed at key strategic industries (including energy, semiconductor, and battery manufacturing industries).

General support measures include: 

• Loan financing for small and medium enterprises participating in national high-tech strategic industries.
• Increased grant funding for the "re-shoring" of high-tech industry businesses.
• Increase funding and financing support for National High-tech Strategic Industry Zones.
• Deregulating export controls related to strategic industries.
• Financing support for export businesses through both publicly owned financial institutions and public-private partnerships.
• R&D support through designated university research centers and infrastructure construction support

Details for specific funding measures by sector are provided as separate entries.
