Last updated: 24 June 2026

The measures strengthen Korea’s resource security framework in response to rising geopolitical and supply-chain risks affecting imported energy resources and critical minerals. They are linked to the National Resource Security Act, which expands resource-security coverage to petroleum, natural gas, coal, uranium, hydrogen and core minerals, and provides the basis for stockpiling, emergency release, allocation, rationing and maximum selling prices for core resources. The package supports supply-chain monitoring, overseas resource development, public stockpiling, private-sector risk sharing and emergency response mechanisms.
