Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
South Korea's government proposed a 2027 budget of 820.9 trillion won, a 12.8% increase over 2026's 727.9 trillion won, allocating 21.3 trillion won to its "Three Mega Projects + AI" initiative covering semiconductors, physical AI, and AI data centers. President Lee Jae-myung requested National Assembly approval of the budget in his policy speech on the 2nd. The 21.3 trillion won figure is not purely AI spending, and both amounts remain government proposals subject to National Assembly review. Tax revenue is set at 584.4 trillion won, with the government citing increased semiconductor-sector earnings as the backdrop for fiscal expansion. Watch for how the National Assembly's deliberations shape the mega-project and AI allocations.
