[경제]”Examination of speculative profits, 5 times redemption”…”As scheduled for supply measures”

[앵커]

After all, the aftermath of LH employees’ suspicion of speculation in the new city is repelling.

The Cheong Wa Dae petition bulletin board even posted a message to withdraw the 3rd new town.

The government, which finally became urgent, announced an urgent apology to the public yesterday, on a holiday.

At the same time, countermeasures were also put in place, such as blocking land transactions by employees of ministries and institutions that are engaged in land development and other tasks.

First, yesterday, Deputy Prime Minister Hong Nam-ki apologized on behalf of the government, right?

[기자]

Yes, it is.

A meeting of related ministers was urgently held yesterday morning, which was not originally planned.

After the meeting, Deputy Prime Minister Hong stood in front of the camera and bowed his head to apologize.

Let’s listen to it yourself.

[홍남기 / 부총리 겸 기획재정부 장관(어제) : 경제를 책임지고 공공기관 관리까지 종합하는 책임장관으로서 국민들께 깊은 마음으로 송구하다는 말씀을 올립니다.]

Last week, LH’s acting as president and homeland minister Byeon Chang-heum followed up with the deputy prime minister of the economy to apologize.

[앵커]

What did you say about the LH crisis, which is growing out of control?

[기자]

Yes, Deputy Prime Minister Hong Nam-ki, first of all, pledged to take zero-tolerance measures on the premise that it is confirmed in connection with the alleged illegal dumping of LH.

We also announced measures to prevent recurrence, which were reviewed at the meeting of relevant ministers.

First of all, employees of government departments and agencies that do land development or housing operations decided to restrict land transactions in principle.

If there was an unavoidable need to buy land, we were asked to report it.

In addition, it was decided to implement a real estate registration system for them to establish a regular monitoring system.

However, some point out that there is a limit to punishing allegations of speculation in the 3rd new city, which is currently a problem, as it is difficult to apply such strong measures retrospectively.

[앵커]

As suspicion of speculation arose at the planned sites of Gwangmyeong and Siheung new towns this time, there are many demands to cancel the 3rd new town plan itself, saying that some do not believe the government’s policy.

What did the government say about this?

[기자]

Yes, from the conclusion to the conclusion, the government apologizes for allegations of LH speculation, followed by supply measures as scheduled.

In response to some demands for the withdrawal of promotion of the 3rd new city, it has nailed the will to break through.

From the government’s point of view, it can be seen that a sense of crisis that the entire difficult supply measures may be shaken is at work.

Let’s listen to Deputy Prime Minister Hong’s remarks.

[홍남기 / 부총리 겸 기획재정부 장관(어제) : 혹여나 이번 사태로 부동산시장 안정을 위해 그간 모든 정책역량을 쏟아 부으며 진력해 온 정부의 정책 의지와 진정성이 훼손될까 안타깝고 두렵습니다. 부동산시장이 다시 흔들려서는 안 됩니다.]

Housing prices, which were continuing high altitude, are showing signs of realism starting with the 2·4 supply measures.

It is interpreted that the government is concerned that if there is a disruption in the supply schedule, an anxiety sentiment will act around end-users and increase the housing price.

[앵커]

If so, what is the schedule for the new city announced by the government?

[기자]

Yes, first of all, we have set out a schedule for the new city until July.

In fact, it has already been announced, so rather than new content, it seems that the government mentioned the schedule on a monthly basis, revealing the will to proceed as scheduled.

Immediately this month, we are releasing additional candidates for the second and fourth supply measures and the second candidate for public redevelopment according to last year’s August 4th measures.

Subsequently, in June, we started recruiting tenants for public jeonse housing, which was newly introduced in the jeonse plan in November of last year.

Also, in July, pre-registration for the 3rd new town begins.

[앵커]

Along with the supply countermeasures, there was also a statement that the market disruption would be strictly enforced like this LH incident, right?

[기자]

Yes, it is.

As the LH crisis is causing so many people’s resentment, the government seems to have shown a strong commitment to this part.

The most remarkable part was the policy to recover more than the gains gained from market manipulation or speculation using internal information.

Then, for example, the capital market law.

In this case, if a profit is obtained by utilizing the undisclosed information, a fine of up to 5 times the gained profit is imposed.

The government is holding a meeting of real estate ministers again this Wednesday,

Additional positions and specific measures to prevent recurrence will be discussed.

Later, later this week, it was reported that the results of the first joint investigation of LH and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and their immediate family members will be released.

So far, the Ministry of Economy has delivered it.
