President Lee Jae-myung emphasized the need to create a budget that can give hope to the people through cooperation between political circles during a cabinet meeting for deliberation on next year's budget. The president said that a productive virtuous cycle fiscal strategy is needed for economic growth, and that the role of finance is important to minimize the pain caused by rising interest rates. He also instructed that measures such as discounts on agricultural, livestock, and fishery products and expansion of stockpiled supplies should be actively pursued to resolve price instability. In particular, he stressed the need for efforts to prevent unfair price increases.
