President Yoon: “Signs of money previously stalled in real estate flowing into productive capital markets are positive”

South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol expressed optimism about the movement of capital out of the real estate sector into more productive markets during a meeting with senior members of the Democratic Party.

On October 25, South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol met with senior members of the Democratic Party of Korea to discuss the critical issue of the economy and the ongoing problems in the real estate sector that contribute to social polarization. Yoon emphasized that resolving these persistent issues is of utmost importance, as they severely impact people's livelihoods. He noted that positive signs indicating a shift in money from real estate to productive capital markets should be viewed favorably, as they may help alleviate the economic strain on the lower and middle classes.

During the meeting, which included prominent party figures such as former Prime Ministers and other senior advisors, Yoon reiterated his commitment to being a 'president for all,' seeking to unify the country and ensure that government actions benefit everyone, not just specific groups. He acknowledged the ongoing challenges and weaknesses in this approach but assured participants of his dedication to continuously strive for improvement. Additionally, he acknowledged the efforts of the Democratic Party in achieving tangible results despite the difficult circumstances surrounding their governance.

Yoon also referenced a recent social media statement praising the Democratic Party's resolve and commitment to fulfilling their duties despite external pressures from opposition factions. This meeting served not only as an opportunity for the president to receive guidance from party veterans but also to reinforce his administration's agenda of addressing economic disparities and fostering a more inclusive economic environment for all citizens.
