[현장연결] Hong Nam-ki “Investigation of fund sources, tax evasion, and loan degree when speculation is confirmed”
The government apologizes for allegations of land speculation by LH employees of the Real Estate Ministers’ Council and proposes a countermeasure to prevent recurrence.
Let’s connect to the site and listen to it.
[홍남기 / 부총리 겸 기획재정부 장관]
Fellow Koreans, I stand here today with a heart that is heavier than ever.
Since a house is the basis of our lives, we are well aware of the people’s desire for the housing we want to live in.
Accordingly, the government has been striving to stabilize the real estate market by expanding housing supply, protecting end users, and blocking speculative demand.
In addition, we have responded decisively to acts of disruption in the real estate market that disrupt the order of the strong community.
However, it is a terrible feeling that an unpleasant thing has occurred in the public institution that is the most fair and strictest to itself that implements the latest real estate policy on the site.
As a minister in charge of taking charge of the economy and managing public institutions, I express my deepest prayer to the people.
The government takes this situation very seriously.
If the public sector loses trust due to aberrations, policy trust can be shaken, so the responsibility for deviations is very heavy.
Even if it is painful, I will boldly cut it out.
I think that is the minimum principle and duty to measure the hearts of the wounded people.
The government promises three things:
First, a joint government investigation is underway regarding this situation.
If real estate speculation is confirmed, it will be taken under zero tolerance, such as an investigation request or disciplinary action.
The pursuit of private interest in any form of public office would never be tolerated.
Both the public officials community and the public officials should take this as an opportunity to accept the wounds of the people endlessly and heavily.
Second, taking this incident as an opportunity, we will systematically prepare measures to prevent deviations as well as fundamental recurrence prevention measures.
In principle, the relevant employees of the departments related to land development and housing work will restrict land transactions within certain categories and report inevitable land transactions.
In addition, as a way to strengthen internal control, we will also consider introducing a system that can monitor at all times, such as the real estate registration system.
Third, it will be reviewed to ensure that the motivation for individual deviation is fundamentally blocked, and to strengthen the management responsibility of the entire institution in case of a significant deviation.
We will make sure that any gains gained unfairly are redeemed so that no such attempt will ever be made.
In addition, we will more strictly operate the management evaluation system of public institutions, such as reinforcing evaluations on ethical management and fair management, for the awareness of all members and efforts at midnight.
Fellow Koreans, As I mentioned earlier, housing is the base of life and the hope for better housing is the hearts of all of the people.
Therefore, the supply of good housing and the stability of the real estate market are the most important and top priority public welfare policies.
It is a matter of interest to all of us, and it is important to each and every one of us, but it is a really important task, especially for our young people who are starting employment, marriage and social life, and our children’s generation.
This is also the reason the government has prepared more countermeasures in relation to real estate policy than in any other field, and has devoted all its policy capabilities to this.
In the real estate market, after the announcement of the 3080 Plus housing supply plan on February 4, the rise in jeonse prices has declined.
Right now, we are at a critical crossroads as to whether the real estate market stabilizes or returns to an unstable situation.
In any case, it is a pity and fear that this incident will undermine the government’s policy will and authenticity, which has been devoting all its policy capabilities to stabilize the real estate market.
The real estate market should not shake again.
The government will continue to move forward without shaking a bit so that trust in real estate policy is not compromised.
With the mindset of the supporters Baekcheokgandu, which means that we have already done everything we can, we will continue to implement the following three real estate policy actions.
First, housing supply measures, including the 2nd and 4th supply measures that supply 830,000 units, will surely be carried out on schedule.
First, in March, we plan to disclose candidate sites for the 2nd and 4th supply measures selected in consultation with private local governments and the 2nd candidates for public redevelopment according to the last 8 and 4th measures.
In April, we will announce the position of supplying new public housing sites for the second time, and we will make every effort to prepare in advance so that there is no fear of speculation.
In June, we will start recruiting tenants for the public jeonse housing newly introduced in November last year.
In July, we will start pre-registration for the 3rd new city, which the people have been waiting for with much anticipation.
In addition, candidates for the urban public housing complex project to be promoted this year will be announced in accordance with the 2nd and 4th measures.
We will thoroughly check and take care of all these processes until our belief in expanding the housing supply is firm.
Second, we will take root in this opportunity for serious market disruption that disturbs the real estate market.
I think the great disappointment of the people in this situation is that the feelings for illegality, expediency, and unfairness in the real estate market were expressed together.
Above all, the following four market disruptions based on illegal, expedient, and unfair will be addressed in the next step.
That is, the first act of using non-public and internal information illegally and unfairly to speculate.
Second, market price manipulation such as collusion that threatens the real estate transaction index.
Third, illegal mediation and disturbances such as cancellation of false sales and reports after contract.
Last and fourth, we will also seek aggravated punishment for the four disturbing acts, such as illegal resale and unfair subscription, that rob you of your chances to find a home.
To this end, first of all, we will consult not only to recover unfair gains, but also to recover more than the gains gained from criminal acts by referring to the punishment for unfair acts under the Capital Markets Act.
Also, we will ensure that illegal actors are expelled from the market as much as possible.
We will restrict certain economic crimes and employment in related organizations, and also restrict the acquisition of licenses for real estate-related businesses to prevent them from entering the real estate market.
In addition, if speculativeness is confirmed in relation to the 3rd new town, we will investigate the source of funds, tax evasion, and compliance with loan regulations.
Detailed measures related to the prevention of market disruption will be reviewed promptly at the meeting of the Ministers Related to Real Estate Market Inspection in the future, and will be discussed at the meeting of the relevant ministers on Wednesday this week.
Third, trust in policy comes from practice.
Accordingly, in the future, we will significantly strengthen the execution power of real estate policies.
First of all, we will regularly review the follow-up measures more closely until the ongoing supply countermeasures are settled on track.
And I will faithfully fulfill my duty of explanation.
On a bi-weekly basis, we will provide detailed explanations on the progress of follow-up measures to the public in various ways.
In order to be evaluated as the results experienced by the public, the National Assembly must also have the legislative support as soon as possible.
Laws for expanding housing supply, such as the Urban Improvement Act, the Special Public Housing Act, and the Land Compensation Act, and the Real Estate Transaction Act for establishing a transparent and fair trade order, are issues that must be legislated as soon as possible for us and for our children, who are future generations. .
We sincerely request that the provisional assembly in March will be handled without a hitch.
To the people who have already been very tired from Corona 19, this position is very heavy and regretful, adding to the frustration of this LH employee crisis.
However, I will deeply enliven today’s regret.
There can be no repeating mistakes and mistakes.
I will be sure to clear up my mistakes and move on.
This is because we can expect a better tomorrow than today.
There is a saying in the old days that you should never be stingy in correcting your faults.
The government will never hesitate to fix the fault this time.
If it is a personal deviation, we will do our best to establish a systematic preventive structure if it is confirmed as a structural problem.
This is because it is believed to be the way to count the broken hearts of the people and restore trust in the public sector.
As previously mentioned, the government will continue to heal wrong errors and wounds as they are, while consistently maintaining and implementing the basic principles, directions, and detailed measures of real estate policy without being shaken.
Through this, we will remove illegal, expedient, and unfair behaviors, and ensure that the real estate market operates normally according to the supply and demand of the market, and based on this, the real estate market stability is maintained.
I sincerely request that the people believe in the government and real estate policy and join forces.
The government will make every effort to ensure the stability of the real estate market and people’s housing by mobilizing all policy capabilities.
Thank you.
