The Federation of Korean Industries (FKI) stated on the 15th that it "actively welcomes President Yoon Seok-yeol's emphasis on the importance of sustainable economic growth and the creation of quality jobs, as well as his commitment to the swift reform of killer regulations and the promotion of science and technology," during his 78th Liberation Day commemorative speech held at Ewha Womans University auditorium.


The FKI said, "Recently, our economy has been facing difficulties such as a contraction in domestic demand due to external uncertainties including the sluggish Chinese economy and the spread of economic nationalism, as well as persistent high inflation and high interest rates," adding, "To turn this crisis into an opportunity and to advance South Korea as a global pivotal nation, the government, businesses, and citizens must unite with one heart and one mind."
