Korea Federation of Micro Enterprises Welcomes U.S. Tariff Agreement... Expects Boost in Domestic Economy

"Hoping to Elevate the Status of the K-Brand"

The Korea Federation of Micro Enterprises has expressed its welcome for the detailed tariff agreement reached through the Korea-U.S. summit.

On October 30, the Federation stated, "The news of the conclusion of the detailed tariff negotiations is the result of an all-out response from both the government and the business community. It is expected to have a positive impact on our economy by resolving trade uncertainties and securing export competitiveness."

The Federation added, "As the delay in tariff negotiations has had a significant negative impact not only on small and medium-sized enterprises but also on local micro businesses, we hope that this agreement will serve as a turning point for revitalizing the domestic economy."

The Federation continued, "Based on the conclusion of the Korea-U.S. tariff negotiations, we hope that exchange rate stability and economic revitalization will follow, bringing favorable conditions to the micro business sector as well. We also expect that the successful hosting of the APEC Summit in Gyeongju will greatly enhance the stability of the global trade order and elevate the status of Korea's K-brand."

Furthermore, the Federation emphasized, "We hope that the APEC Summit in Gyeongju will serve as an opportunity for the government and the National Assembly to actively strengthen the structure of the Korean economy and enhance the competitiveness of micro enterprises in the era of artificial intelligence (AI) transformation. The Korea Federation of Micro Enterprises will also proactively respond to the reorganization of the international economic order and do its utmost to strengthen the capabilities of Korean micro businesses."
