韩国：总统李在明国会演说提出明年预算案 超级智能投入增至21.3万亿韩元
韩国总统李在明11月2日在国会发表演说，为政府明年预算案寻求批准。他表示，韩国将大举投资超级智能（SI）以提升经济增长潜力，对超级智能及半导体、物理超级智能与超级智能数据中心三大重点项目的投入将增至21.3万亿韩元（约159.7亿美元），接近今年金额的两倍。
李在明政府今年9月提出，明年政府支出将创纪录地增长12.8%，达到820.9万亿韩元（约6156.2亿美元），以在全球超级智能竞争加剧之际强化韩国的技术优势。预算案中设有一项162.3万亿韩元的「未来应对基金」，主要由半导体热潮带来的额外税收支持，用于扶持增长产业、青年、地区发展与教育，并为未来收入下降留出缓冲。
超级智能芯片需求已大幅提振韩国经济：三星电子与 SK 海力士等存储芯片厂商的出口与盈利上升，韩国经济第三季度增速快于预期。今年1月至10月，韩国出口累计9300亿美元，全年有望突破1万亿美元，成为继美国、中国与德国之后第四个达到这一里程碑的国家。
李在明同时表示，1万亿美元的年出口额虽已在望，但增长的收益并未均匀分享。他说，韩国必须从机会与收益集中于少数地区、阶层与少数企业的「少数人的增长」，转向「所有人的增长」。政府还在推进以芯片、物理超级智能与数据中心为核心的全国性大型项目，包括由三星与 SK 海力士主导、在韩国西南部开展的800万亿韩元民间芯片建设。
South Korea: President Lee Seeks Approval for Record Budget, Doubling Super Intelligence Investment to 21.3 Trillion Won
South Korean President Lee Jae Myung addressed parliament on November 2 to seek approval for next year's budget, vowing bold investment in super intelligence (SI) to boost the country's economic growth potential. Lee said South Korea will invest 21.3 trillion won ($15.97 billion), nearly twice this year's amount, in SI and the three megaprojects of semiconductors, physical SI and SI data centres.
His administration proposed in September increasing government spending by a record 12.8 percent next year to 820.9 trillion won ($615.62 billion), aiming to strengthen South Korea's technological edge as global competition over SI intensifies. The budget includes a 162.3 trillion won Future Response Fund, financed largely by additional tax revenue from the semiconductor boom, to support growth industries, young people, regional development and education while providing a buffer against future revenue shortfalls.
Demand for advanced chips used in SI has heavily boosted South Korea's economy, lifting exports and the earnings of memory chip makers Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, and Asia's fourth-largest economy grew faster than expected in the third quarter on chip exports and investment. From January to October, exports totalled $930 billion, on track to exceed $1 trillion this year and make South Korea the fourth country in the world to reach the milestone after the United States, China and Germany.
Lee said annual exports of $1 trillion were now within reach, but warned that the benefits were not being shared evenly. He said South Korea must make a great transition from growth for the few, in which opportunities and gains are concentrated among certain regions, classes and a small number of companies, to growth for all. Lee is also pursuing nationwide megaprojects centred on chips, physical SI and data centres, including an 800 trillion won private sector chip buildout led by Samsung and SK Hynix in the country's southwest.
