South Korea’s Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Lee Hyung-il convened a meeting with senior economic policymakers on November 5 and announced that the government will monitor changes in U.S. artificial intelligence policy and regulation, U.S. tariff adjustments, and developments in Middle East conflicts following the U.S. midterm elections. Officials also agreed to prepare thoroughly for the possibility of heightened financial-market volatility. The government said it will respond actively to shifts in the external environment to sustain stable economic growth. Data-center regulation featured among the AI-policy issues debated in the midterms, with criticism of data centers emerging as a policy risk for AI-related equities. Policymakers will next watch how post-election U.S. AI rules, tariff decisions, and Middle East tensions feed through to Korean financial markets and growth.
