South Korea's Ministry of Economy and Finance convened the first 2026 Public Institution Investment Execution Inspection Meeting and set a KRW 70.0 trillion investment execution target for 26 major public institutions in 2026, including a KRW 37.1 trillion first half plan. The ministry also reviewed 2025 execution, with major public institutions investing KRW 72.5 trillion, KRW 6.5 trillion above the KRW 66.0 trillion target. By institution, Korea Land and Housing Corporation will invest KRW 25.1 trillion, up KRW 3.5 trillion year on year, reflecting the government’s policy to expand housing supply. Korea Electric Power Corporation plans KRW 10.9 trillion for transmission and distribution projects, the National Railroad Corporation KRW 6.8 trillion for railway construction and facility improvements, and Korea Asset Management Corporation KRW 2.0 trillion for household recovery and corporate normalization support. Commendations were also presented to eight institutions for strong 2025 investment execution performance. The ministry will manage investment execution weekly and hold inspection meetings at least monthly, including gathering feedback on difficulties at project sites, with worksite safety management highlighted as a top priority.
