El Gobierno elaborará un presupuesto suplementario con ingresos fiscales excedentes

El gobierno surcoreano planea preparar rápidamente un presupuesto suplementario utilizando los ingresos fiscales excedentes para aliviar las cargas en la vida cotidiana derivadas del conflicto en Oriente Medio, sin emitir bonos estatales adicionales. Esto sigue una orden del presidente Lee Jae Myung. El presupuesto se centrará en aliviar los costos logísticos y de combustible mientras apoya a los hogares de bajos ingresos.

El 13 de marzo de 2026, el gobierno surcoreano anunció planes para un presupuesto suplementario para hacer frente a las repercusiones del conflicto en Oriente Medio, incluyendo el aumento de los precios mundiales del petróleo. El ministro interino de Presupuesto, Lim Ki-geun, declaró durante una reunión interinstitucional de viceministros que el presupuesto se elaboraría utilizando los ingresos fiscales excedentes esperados, sin emitir bonos gubernamentales adicionales, para minimizar los impactos en los mercados de bonos gubernamentales y de divisas.  El movimiento llega un día después de que el presidente Lee Jae Myung ordenara preparativos rápidos para un presupuesto extra con el fin de estabilizar las condiciones de vida y apoyar la recuperación económica. El gobierno tiene la intención de comenzar los preparativos de inmediato y presentar una propuesta a la Asamblea Nacional en la fecha más temprana posible.  Se espera que el presupuesto suplementario priorice el alivio de las cargas en los costos logísticos y de combustible, proporcionando apoyo a los hogares de bajos ingresos, pequeños comerciantes y agricultores, así como ayuda a los exportadores que enfrentan choques externos. El Ministerio de Economía y Finanzas planea consultar estrechamente con institutos de investigación estatales y expertos que han abogado por un gasto fiscal adicional para desarrollar medidas efectivas.
