Tax credits boost domestic semi/solar/robots

The government introduced a new tax credit for domestic production of strategically important items like semiconductors, solar energy, and AI robots to boost domestic manufacturing and counter Chinese competition. This will lower costs and incentivize investment in these sectors.

SMR/MMR strategic tech with tax incentives

In the shift to the AI era and energy transition, the government has designated small modular reactors (SMR) and micro modular reactors (MMR) as national strategic technologies, offering high tax deductions for R&D and investment, which will accelerate development and deployment in the Korean nuclear power sector.

KOSPI trend healthy, value-up tailwinds

The KOSPI has risen significantly from around 3,000 to 9,000 and the overall trend remains healthy. The government's tax reform includes measures to expand the capital market base and promote corporate value-up, and aims to cultivate next-generation industries beyond semiconductors (such as AI and biotech) to attract investment, supporting sustained equity market strength.
