The target of this year's Ministry of Economy and Finance policy selected by the public is the inclusion of the World Government Bond Index.

The Ministry of Strategy and Finance's top policy this year selected by the public was the inclusion of the World Government Bond Index (WGBI).

The Ministry of Economy and Finance announced today (20th) that the policy promoted by the National Treasury Bureau was selected in the "2024 Ministry of Strategy and Finance Policy MVP" vote through its website and mobile from the 26th of last month to the 6th of last month.

In October, Korea succeeded in incorporating the world's top three bond indexes, the World Government Bond Index.

With the success of its fourth challenge since it rose to the status of an observable country in September 2022, it has been highly praised for its expected effects such as expanding the demand base for government bonds, stabilizing interest rates and foreign exchange markets, and reducing procurement costs.

The grand prize was selected as "Tax Support for Marriage, Childbirth, and Parenting for Happy Families with Children" (Income Corporate Tax Policy Officer) and "The Largest Investment in Work-Family Balance Budget in History to Overcome Low Birth Rate" (Social Budget Review Officer).

4,524 people participated in the vote, including the general public, policy experts, and reporters, for 20 candidate policies.

The Ministry of Economy and Finance said that the general public preferred policies to solve the low birth rate problem while experiencing high levels of daily life.

The press corps and experts added that they have weighed on policies related to macroeconomic stability and structural reforms, including the inclusion of the World Government Bond Index, a full overhaul of levies and a dynamic economic roadmap.
