South Korean President Lee Jae‑myung pushes rapid housing supply in extended policy meetings

President Lee Jae‑myung chaired a six‑hour real‑estate policy meeting at the Blue House, urging ministries to accelerate housing supply and adopt bold measures. The discussion focused on financial support tools and ways to shorten the time needed to deliver new homes, with an emphasis on expanding the overall supply volume.

Four days after a marathon 7‑hour session, Lee convened a second meeting to review progress and consider easing real‑estate project‑financing (PF) regulations. Government officials reported plans to add more than 50,000 new homes in the Seoul metropolitan area, including an additional 60,000 units from sites such as Tae‑ryeong, Camp Kim and Gwacheon, bringing the total to roughly 110,000 homes. Lee instructed that further reports on finance and housing supply be prepared within two to three days.

The meetings reflect the administration’s priority on rapid housing delivery, with proposals that may involve green‑belt releases, redevelopment incentives and regulatory adjustments to meet the targeted supply goals.
