Pan-Government 'Housing Supply Activation Review Meeting'... "Project Coordination Committee to Mediate Disputes"

The government held a meeting on the 24th to review the implementation status of measures to revitalize housing supply and discussed follow-up actions and directions to promote housing supply.

This meeting was organized to disseminate the effectiveness of the housing supply revitalization plan announced on the 26th of last month to the market and to enhance implementation capacity. Senior officials from the Ministry of Economy and Finance, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, Financial Services Commission, and Financial Supervisory Service attended the meeting.

The government decided that in housing construction projects where public and private interests are complex and disputes arise, a reasonable adjustment and mediation plan will be prepared through the “Public-Private Joint Construction Investment Project Adjustment Committee.” The committee is chaired by the 1st Vice Minister of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.

Additionally, attendees agreed on the importance of smooth coordination of interests among the main lenders participating in project financing (PF), developers, and contractors to normalize housing supply projects. Accordingly, they decided to identify the current status of conflicts among related ministries and take measures.

Meanwhile, in the context of a contracted PF market, it was decided to continuously discuss the obstacles that exacerbate financial difficulties for developers and contractors. They also plan to review PF handling practices during project implementation.

The government stated, “We will continue to carefully inspect the entire field to ensure that the Yoon Seok-yeol administration’s housing supply blueprint, the plan to supply 2.7 million housing units + α, is implemented without any setbacks.”
