Detailing the $7 Billion Support Package for Chip Industry
According to Reuters, South Korea's finance minister said on Sunday that the country is preparing a support package for chip investments and research worth more than 10 trillion won ($7.30 billion) after deciding to win a "war" in the semiconductor business.
Finance Minister Choi Sang-mok stated that the government would soon provide specifics of the package, which targets chip materials, equipment manufacturers, and fabless companies across the semiconductor supply chain.
According to a statement from the finance ministry, Choi told executives from local chip equipment companies at a conference that the program may involve policy loans and the establishment of a new fund backed by state and private financial institutions.
