The Korea Federation of Construction Associations announced on the 16th that it held a policy agreement ceremony with Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party's 20th presidential candidate, at the Construction Hall in Nonhyeon-dong, Gangnam-gu.


The contents of the policy agreement include ▲continuing to expand national infrastructure investment to recover the economy and leap forward as a leading country, ▲striving to raise the criteria for preliminary feasibility study targets for balanced national development and infrastructure investment, ▲promoting national future-leading projects such as the 5 Poles 3 Special Mega City project, and ▲introducing cooperative and autonomous safety management methods used in advanced countries for disaster prevention to change the industrial safety paradigm.


There was a consensus that the ruling party and the construction industry will join forces to help the construction sector, which is struggling due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, to leap forward, and that the ruling party will also support construction policies.



Chairman Kim Sang-soo said, "We requested that measures to revitalize the construction economy, such as expanding national infrastructure investment and easing various construction regulations, be reflected in policies," adding, "The construction industry will also do its best for daily life and economic recovery amid the widespread Omicron variant."
