President Lee Jae-myung emphasized the need to actively pursue regulatory rationalization policies in a way that minimizes risk factors. During the 2nd Core Regulatory Rationalization Strategy Meeting held at the Yongsan presidential office, President Lee remarked, “The recovery of the economy and people’s livelihoods fundamentally requires the activation of corporate and economic activities.” He identified regulatory rationalization as a key agenda.
He continued, “The government either promotes or suppresses activities in various fields, but when officials become bureaucrats, they might exercise authority based on fixed ideas, which can act as a shackle in the field.”
Furthermore, he stressed, “When conflicts of interest arise, instead of avoiding them, they should be well-coordinated. If some regulations are said to infringe on people’s lives or personal information, then shouldn’t the risk be minimized?”
President Lee further stated, “If there are obstacles in trying to promote, it’s important to fully listen to the field, remove risk factors as much as possible within an acceptable range, and allow freedom for creativity.”
Following the first meeting that addressed core regulations on AI data, autonomous driving, and the robotics industry, today’s meeting focused on biotech, energy, and the culture industry. About 40 representatives from companies and academia attended to share insights from the field.
