South Korea’s Ministry of Economy and Finance says it will update the government’s asset management system through a new legal framework. The ministry plans to establish a “National Asset Basic Act,” aimed at restructuring how state assets are managed. Multiple reports say the changes are intended to bring additional categories of assets under state oversight, including digital assets and intellectual property. The announcement signals that the government is moving beyond traditional asset classifications and creating a broader, formal approach to managing newer asset types. While the ministry’s statement focuses on the law’s purpose and scope, specific implementation details, timelines, and how digital assets would be valued, recorded, or supervised under the framework were not included in the provided summaries. Overall, the sources agree that the government is preparing a new state asset management system and that digital assets will be included within its coverage, alongside intellectual property, under the proposed legislation.
