BlockBeats News, June 22nd, according to Bloomberg, Kang Young-sun, head of the South Korean President's Policy Office, stated that policymakers need to pay attention to how the wealth created by the chip-driven prosperity in South Korea will be transmitted to a broader economic sphere, and warned that historical experience shows that excess liquidity often flows into the real estate market.

He pointed out that driven by the global AI boom, the South Korean semiconductor industry's profits have surged, leading to South Korea's nominal economic growth reaching the fastest pace in over two decades. Despite overall economic data showing an exceptionally strong growth trend, many ordinary households and small businesses have not truly shared in this round of growth dividends.

This policy official emphasized that the current South Korean economy exhibits a clear structural differentiation: on the one hand, the AI and chip industries are generating huge profits; on the other hand, the residents and small businesses in the real economy still have limited sense of gain. Therefore, the South Korean government needs to closely monitor the flow of funds to prevent excessive newly created wealth and liquidity from pouring into the real estate market, driving up housing prices and accumulating new financial risks.
