President Lee Jae Myung on Tuesday shared a media report on social media platform X comparing property taxes on homeowners in major foreign cities to South Korea's. He questioned why South Korea's effective tax rate of about 0.15 percent is low compared to around 1 percent in New York, 1.7 percent in Tokyo, and 0.4 to 0.6 percent in Shanghai. Lee has prioritized stabilizing home prices for months.
