[Asia Economy Reporter Wondara] Kim Tae-nyeon, floor leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, reaffirmed on the 9th his intention to pass the amendment to the High-ranking Officials' Crime Investigation Office (PCC) Act and the 'Fair Economy 3 Acts' in the plenary session on the 9th.

At the policy coordination meeting held at the National Assembly on the morning of the 3rd, Floor Leader Kim said, "Yesterday, by agreement between the ruling and opposition parties, we passed the next year's budget within the deadline set by law," adding, "From now on, it is time for legislative work in the National Assembly. During the remaining regular session, we will strive to complete reforms, restore people's livelihoods, and thoroughly handle legislation for future transition."

He stated, "We will pass reform bills such as the PCC Act and the Fair Economy 3 Acts by the 9th," emphasizing, "We will not neglect laws related to future transition and expanding social inclusiveness through K-New Deal legislation." He added, "The Democratic Party will do its best to consult with the opposition parties."

Quoting the OECD's December economic outlook, Floor Leader Kim said, "Among member countries, our country is projected to have the highest economic growth rate. According to the Bank of Korea, the real GDP growth rate in the third quarter was 2.1%, showing an economic rebound." He continued, "To turn the crisis of our economy into an opportunity, we need to shift from a defense-centered response to the COVID-19 crisis to increasing the proportion of aggressive policies that can promote economic growth. We will build a Digital Green New Deal and focus on related policy legislation."

Regarding the abolition of the public certification system starting from the 10th, he said, "The newly implemented electronic signature service will resolve user inconveniences," adding, "We will respond to changes as non-face-to-face businesses develop. The Democratic Party will respond thoroughly to user protection related to the introduction of the electronic signature certification evaluation system."
