South Korea’s Ministry of Economy and Finance has unveiled detailed economic policy measures to be implemented in 2026, aiming to achieve annual growth of 2 percent — double the estimated 1 percent increase in 2025 — while reaffirming pledges to accelerate the adoption of artificial intelligence across the country and to strengthen national AI capabilities. The announcement intended to elaborate on, update, or reaffirm policy initiatives the government has unveiled since disclosing details of its 2026 annual budget bill in late 2025.
