On the 9th, a special law aimed at legally supporting $350 billion in investments to the U.S. passed unanimously through the National Assembly's Special Committee. This bill, officially referred to as the 'Special Law for Strategic Investment Management between Korea and the U.S.', is set to undergo further legislative review by the Legislation and Judiciary Committee and is expected to be processed during the general assembly meeting on the 12th.

The law establishes a Korea-U.S. Strategic Investment Corporation funded by Korean government investments, although the capital was adjusted down to 2 trillion won from the original government proposal of 3 trillion won. The total workforce for this corporation has also been significantly reduced from an initial estimate of 400-500 personnel down to a maximum of 50, indicating a move towards a leaner organizational structure. The strategic investment fund attached to this corporation will be generated through various channels including public contributions, asset management, issuance of strategic investment bonds, and borrowing from government and financial institutions.

To better manage investment risks, a dedicated Risk Management Committee will be established within the corporation's board, separate from the existing project management and operational committees. These committees will ensure a multi-layered decision-making process regarding potential investments in the U.S., where the project management committee assesses the commercial viability and legal aspects, while the operational committee decides on the intent to pursue investments. While the intention is to expedite investment decisions by limiting parliamentary consent to advance reports, provisions allow for the confidentiality of sensitive investment information relating to national security or corporate management secrets as needed.
