South Korean President Addresses Housing Instability
President Lee of South Korea is worried about the housing market.
He says that when people only invest in houses, it causes problems.
He wants people to have more ways to invest their money, not just in houses.
The government is making it harder to borrow money to buy homes and putting a limit on how much can be borrowed for homes in the capital city.
They hope this will help stabilize the housing market.
South Korean President Lee Jae Myung says speculative investment caused housing instability.
Lee emphasized the need to diversify investment options beyond real estate.
He highlighted the importance of maintaining positive trends in stock and financial markets.
New lending rules include lower household lending requirements.
Mortgage-backed loans in Seoul will be capped at 600 million won.
