On the afternoon of the 29th, Kim Yong-beom, Chief of Policy at the Presidential Office, announced at the Gyeongju Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Media Center that South Korea and the U.S. had agreed on the details of the tariff negotiations on the 29th,,,,,. He stated that the U.S. financial investment fund, totaling 350 billion won, will be structured into △$200 billion in cash investment and $150 billion in shipbuilding cooperation. Considering Korea's foreign exchange spending capacity, the annual cap for cash direct investment has been set at $20 billion. Kim said, "A $200 billion investment at once It is not something that will be realized, but even within an annual limit of 20 billion dollars, investments will be distributed according to the progress of the business, so our foreign exchange market can bear within the limits and minimize the impact." The two countries are on the Korea-U.S . shipbuilding cooperation project 'MASGA' (MASGA· The $150 billion invested in Make America Shipbuilding Great Again' will be led by Korean companies, and with the conclusion of the ,,, tariff negotiations, the U.S. has decided to reduce its reciprocal tariffs on Korea and tariffs on automobiles and parts to 15%. Additionally, among product tariffs, pharmaceuticals and wood products will receive most-favored-nation treatment, while aircraft parts, generic pharmaceuticals, and natural resources not produced in the U.S. will be subject to tariff-free treatment. Especially in the case of semiconductors, They agreed to apply tariffs at levels that are not disadvantageous compared to Taiwan, our main competitor, and added that further opening of agricultural sectors, including rice and beef, was blocked. Regarding this agreement, Director Kim explained, "If there are concerns about instability in the foreign exchange market , we have also prepared separate grounds to request adjustments to the timing and amount of payments," adding, "Although the investment commitment is until January 2029, actual procurement will take a long time, and the impact on the foreign exchange market will be further mitigated by procurement methods other than market purchases." He also said, "We have established multi-layered safeguards to increase the possibility of principal recovery," and "We have agreed to pursue only projects with commercial rationality that guarantee principal and interest, and to specify this in the memorandum of understanding (MOU)." He added, "Until principal and interest are repaid before principal and interest, the profits will be split 50:50, but if it is unlikely that the full principal and interest will not be repaid within 20 years, the profit distribution ratio can also be adjusted," which serves as a clause that could increase our side of the profit ratio. However, from the point of generating profit after principal and interest After recovery, the profits will be split 90:1, with the U.S. side taking more of the profits. And in selecting investment projects, they inserted the phrase 'commercial rationality' to put the brakes on the U.S. unilateral selection of investment destinations. It would be a good job??? but !! a good ??? should be right!!!!!!
