The most important thing in the third cardinal plan is to minimize the impact of employment and expand the social safety net.

[Hongnamgi / Deputy Prime Minister: now including 3.5 trillion won, including employment benefit the expansion of unemployment insurance for the unemployed (the employment special measures) accounted for a total of 8.9 trillion won]

5 trillion in "Korean New Deal" 100 billion won has been allocated.

The two pillars are the digital and eco-friendly industries, which will provide a platform for growth after corona.

In order to promote domestic demand, we decided to provide KRW 160 billion in discounted consumption coupons in eight areas, including agricultural and marine products, lodging, and eating out.

However, this addendum issued 23 trillion and 800 billion won in deficit bonds, and this year, the amount of debt raised by the country exceeded 111 trillion won.

The ratio of national debt to gross domestic product and GDP rises by more than 5 percentage points a year to reach the mid 40% range.

The national debt ratio itself is not at risk right now, but the problem is the rate at which debt is growing.

[Kim So-young/Professor, Department of Economics, Seoul National University: On average, you should not raise more than a few percent of your national debt. If we make this kind of rule, in the long run, we can use our financial resources whenever we need it.]

It is pointed out that we should also prepare measures to secure financial resources to maintain mid- to long-term fiscal soundness.
