🇰🇷South Korea plans a Future Fund using additional tax revenue associated with the AI-driven semiconductor industry expansion.

South Korea’s economic authorities announced plans to establish a Future Fund (未来基金) using additional fiscal revenue linked to the artificial-intelligence and semiconductor boom. The government characterized the additional receipts as unexpected excess fiscal revenue.

Officials said stronger global semiconductor conditions were increasing corporate-tax receipts and that domestic tax revenue was expected to rise substantially. The announcement did not specify the fund’s size, launch date, investment mandate, governance structure, or initial capitalization.

The government described the fund as a strategic investment platform intended to support long-term economic growth and increase South Korea’s potential growth rate. The source presented the proposal as a government plan; it did not report that funding had already been appropriated or deployed.
