The Ministry of Finance and Economy said it held the fourth meeting of the Strategic Economy Advisory Panel’s steering committee on the 28th at the Government Complex Seoul, chaired by Park Young-sun, head of the panel.
Launched on the 13th, the panel has been identifying field-focused policy tasks tied to strategic industries. Over about two weeks, it convened both the steering committee and subcommittees to continue work on selecting key assignments.
At the meeting, members discussed priority projects to respond to what the ministry called a major shift driven by artificial intelligence. Advisers said that amid changes in the external environment and a technology paradigm shift, the government should expand cross-ministry coordination and broaden private-sector participation to strengthen the competitiveness of domestic industries.
Earlier, the panel added a new “AI agent commerce” subcommittee to its existing six, citing the growing importance of commerce applications using AI agents.
Min Kyung-seol, head of the Office for Innovative Growth, asked advisers to “propose specific tasks so that strategic industries can grow into industries that will drive growth for the next 50 years.”
The ministry said it will consult with relevant ministries on projects proposed by the panel and continue holding meetings to identify policy tasks.
