Reorganization to Strengthen the Operation of Committees under the Ministry of SMEs and Startups

Abolishment of 4 Inefficient Operating Committees
Comprehensive Maintenance Bill Passed at Cabinet Meeting on the 24th

The Ministry of SMEs and Startups (Minister Lee Young) announced on the 24th that the "Partial Amendment to Four Laws Including the Act on Support for Women Entrepreneurs for the Reorganization of Committees Affiliated with Administrative Agencies" has passed the Cabinet meeting.

The Ministry of SMEs and Startups has continuously worked on reorganizing committees affiliated with administrative agencies that have low meeting performance or are inefficiently operated to ensure efficient management.

According to the amended law passed on this day, the committees to be abolished are the Balanced Growth Promotion Committee, the Disabled Entrepreneurs Activity Promotion Committee, the SME Technology Innovation Promotion Committee, and the Startup Support Policy Council, totaling four committees. As a result, the previously operated 14 committees will be reduced to 10 committees, allowing for more substantial operation.

Hwang Young-ho, Planning and Innovation Officer at the Ministry of SMEs and Startups, stated, "The functions of the four abolished committees will be reinforced by adding relevant experts to the specialized committees under the SME Policy Deliberation Council to prevent any gaps," and added, "We will continue to reorganize and improve committees to ensure they operate efficiently."
