Yoon also said that regulatory innovation is “a matter of people’s livelihood and economy, not of ideology and politics,” and expressed his commitment to saving people’s livelihood and the economy through high-quality jobs created by regulatory innovation, not the deterrent jobs created by finances.
Yoon expressed his commitment to consistently promote regulatory innovation with the philosophy that true innovation comes from freedom and creativity, and to create only the rational regulations necessary for the life, safety and order of the people based on objective data and scientific analysis.
The Coordination Office Director Bang Moon-gy, presented “Regulatory Innovation Promotion Situation and Future Promotion Plan”, and Chairman Choi Tae-won of the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry presented “Suggestions for the Economic Community to Enhance Regulatory Innovation Performance”.
Also, the heads of 6 economic organizations and the heads of the People’s Power Regulatory Reform and Promotion Unit discussed without hesitation how to innovate the regulations they felt in the field.
Yoon said that he would consult closely with the city of Daegu on environmental issues in the Daegu area, such as the issue of drinking water and the promotion of Palgongsan National Park.
The choice of the SME factory as the meeting place reflects the willingness of the government to support enterprises that maintain and produce businesses in the country through various regulatory reforms despite various difficult conditions, and symbolizes the Yoon Government’s belief and philosophy on saving the industry, the economy, and regulatory innovation.
