Korea just unveiled its largest spending increase since the financial crisis, funded almost entirely by a semiconductor tax windfall that officials admit may not last.
Next year's budget rises 12.8 percent to 820.9 trillion won as debt climbs toward 1,734 trillion won by 2030. Washington is pushing to raise the price tag on Korea's first US investment project, as savings bank delinquencies rise and Samsung unveils a new memory strategy against China's CXMT.
