Under the MOU, the two agencies would inject policy financing on competitive terms into the industries emerging as driving the national growth, including renewable energy, advanced mobility, secondary batteries, next-generation telecommunications, semiconductors, and healthcare, in a timely manner.

The MOU also specifies that companies and projects that are recognized for outstanding commitment to ESG management will receive benefits such as preferential interest rates.
