He also said, "We will speed up financial easing and deregulation" so that the disruption in real estate transactions does not lead to an economic crisis.
Regarding the housing welfare policy, Minister Won also added that the area of public rental housing will be expanded, and quality innovation will be pursued by expanding built-in items and improving interior finishing materials.
The Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs is planning to make this year a year to eradicate illegality and injustice prevalent throughout society.
Minister Won said, "Until now, a small number of organizations such as the Cargo Workers' Union and the Construction Workers' Union have violated the legitimate rights and interests of the majority of workers and even held the national economy hostage." We will definitely normalize the abnormality that is weighing on us."
In this regard, Minister Won announced on Facebook that he was ordering an urgent full investigation into illegal activities by the construction union at the construction site of the Korea Land and Housing Corporation.
