The government and local authorities are working to expedite the approval process for a $392 billion investment in advanced strategic industries in the Chungcheong region. They plan to closely manage the approval schedules for individual investment projects and share examples of expedited processing among local governments to enhance the speed of corporate investments.
On September 10, the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy held the third meeting of the 'Chungcheong Advanced Industry Leap TF (Charging TF)' at the Government Sejong Office, involving local governments from Chungbuk, Chungnam, Sejong, Asan, Dangjin, and Cheongju.
The Charging TF is a collaborative framework between central and local governments aimed at ensuring the smooth implementation of large-scale investments in advanced strategic industries in the Chungcheong region.
In the first meeting, investment companies in the region shared their investment plans and support requests with relevant ministries. The second meeting focused on practical discussions among ministries to address the concerns raised by companies.
The third meeting concentrated on the various approvals needed during the investment process. Given that the planned investment in advanced strategic industries in the Chungcheong region totals $392 billion, the goal is to minimize delays that occur during the approval stages to ensure that planned investments are executed.
Each local government shared the status of approvals related to mega projects in advanced strategic industries and discussed future plans. They also addressed target deadlines for processing approvals, strategies for reducing timelines, and areas where support from the central government is needed.
In particular, they aim to share successful cases of expedited approvals from local governments and promote these practices in other regions. The government and local authorities will continuously manage the approval progress of individual projects and jointly respond to challenges faced by companies during the investment process.
Following the TF meeting, the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy will visit Samsung Electro-Mechanics' Sejong plant, which is preparing an $8 billion investment, to check on the progress. They plan to gather additional concerns and requests from the field and explore necessary support measures from the central government for investment implementation.
Kim Gyu-sung, Director of Regional Economic Policy at the Ministry, stated, "To achieve visible results from the $392 billion large-scale investment in the Chungcheong region, rapid approval support that companies can feel is essential. In the future, the central and local governments will work as one team to resolve challenges for swift corporate investments in the Chungcheong region."
