As the war between the United States and Iran drags on, concerns over inflation are mounting. Government bond yields in major economies are climbing, and the global economy is slowing rapidly. Korea is no exception. High exchange rates, high prices, and high interest rates are weighing on the economy. Under these circumstances, household debt that has swollen to unmanageable levels and an unstable real estate market are major destabilizing factors in the financial market. For sustainable growth, the link between real estate and finance must be severed so that funds flow into productive sectors.
Seoul Economic Daily will host the 30th Seoul Economic Financial Strategy Forum under the theme of "Rebuilding Finance 2026 - Real Estate Finance Concentration and Improvement Measures." Lee Chan-jin, Governor of the Financial Supervisory Service (FSS), will deliver the keynote speech on "Real Estate Concentration and the Direction of Financial Supervision," and Song Young-ho, Partner at PwC Consulting, will give a thematic lecture on "Structural Transformation of the Financial Industry from Real Estate to Industry." We look forward to your support and participation.
