South Korea announced Tuesday a support package of 33 trillion won ($23.25
billion) for its vital semiconductor industry, as heightened uncertainty over
U.S. tariffs threatens domestic companies.
This comes after U.S. president Donald Trump reportedly said he would be
announcing the tariff rate on imported semiconductors soon, after exempting
them from his steep “reciprocal” tariffs last Friday.
In a social media post Monday, Trump vowed to investigate the “whole
electronics supply chain” on national security grounds.
The U.S. Department of Commerce also released a notice saying it will initiate
an investigation “to determine the effects on national security of imports
of semiconductors, semiconductor manufacturing equipment, and their derivative
products.”
South Korea’s funding support was about a quarter more than the 26 trillion
committed last year, according to a press release from the finance ministry.
As part of the measures, the government will subsidize the construction of
underground power transmission lines to semiconductor clusters, as well as
increase the funding ratio for infrastructure in advanced industrial complexes
to 50% from 30%.
A total of 20 trillion won of low-interest loans to semiconductor companies
will be offered between 2025 and 2027, up from the current 17 trillion won.
Other measures include introducing training and research programs for domestic
master’s and doctoral students as well as global joint research programs for
foreign talent.
South Korea is home to some of the world’s top chipmakers, including Samsung
Electronics and SK Hynix, with semiconductors a key export of the country.
On Tuesday, the South Korean Kospi
was up 0.68%, with Samsung climbing 1.07% and SK Hynix up 0.17%.
In 2024, South Korea’s exports of semiconductors stood at $141.9 billion,
just over 20% of the country’s $683.6 billion exports.
The U.S. is the second largest export destination for South Korea, with
exports rising 10.5% year-on-year to $127.8 billion in 2024, reaching a new
annual high for the seventh consecutive year.
On Monday, acting South Korean president Han Duck-soo reportedly said that
Trump had “apparently” instructed his administration to conduct immediate
tariff negotiations with South Korea, according to local media outlet Yonhap.
心得/評論:
韓國週二宣布為其關鍵的半導體產業提供330兆韓元(約232.5億美元)的支持計劃
因為美國即將對半導體進口徵收關稅的不確定性威脅到國內企業。
此前,美國總統川普據稱表示將很快公布對進口半導體的關稅稅率,
此前他於上週五豁免了半導體適用其嚴格的“對等”關稅。
川普週一在社群媒體發文,承諾以國家安全為由調查“整個電子供應鏈”。
美國商務部也發布通知,將啟動調查以確定半導體、半導體製造設備及其
衍生產品進口對國家安全的影響。
韓國的資金支持比去年承諾的260億韓元高出約四分之一。作為措施的一部分
,政府將補貼半導體集群的地下輸電線建設,並將先進產業園區的基礎設施
資金比例從30%提高到50%。
2025年至2027年間,將向半導體公司提供總額200億韓元的低息貸款,高於目
前的170億韓元。其他措施包括為國內碩士和博士生推出培訓和研究計劃,以
及為外國人才設立全球聯合研究項目。
韓國擁有全球頂尖的晶片製造商,包括三星電子和SK海力士,半導體是該國
的主要出口產品。週二,韓國Kospi指數上漲0.68%,三星上漲1.07%,SK海力
士上漲0.17%。2024年,韓國半導體出口額達1419億美元,占該國總出口額
6836億美元的20%以上。
美國是韓國第二大出口目的地,2024年對美出口額年增10.5%,達1278億美元
,連續第七年創年度新高。
據當地媒體《聯合新聞通訊社》報導,代理總統韓德洙週一表示,川普“顯然”
已指示其政府與韓國立即進行關稅談判。

232.5億鎂
對晶片產業的補助這麼大
會不會觸怒米國大統領川普?
如果不會
台灣484也該補助一下GG、聯發科和相關建設、人才?
