韩国降低以房养老标准
大家好,我是王璇，今天的 The AsiaN新闻，又同您见面了。 韩国金融委员会近日决定将从今天开始降低“以房养老”信贷标准。据悉，韩金融委拟定提交《韩国住房金融法》修正案，将养老贷款年龄限制条件从“夫妻双方实际年龄均需达到60岁”改为“房产所有者个人60岁以上即可”。 对此重大改动，韩国相关部门向民众做出了进一步详细说明。韩国金融委员会表示“按照以前的要求，一部分与配偶年龄差距较大的群体，很难在短时间内实现以房养老，为扫除上述障碍，决定推动实施该解决方案”。 对于具体实施方法，韩金融委表示“将在8月6日到9月17日之间提交《预备修正法案》，在通过相关法律部门审查以后，在交付国会敦促实施”。 当然还是和往常一样，欢迎您点击我们的网站，浏览其他要闻。 我们的网站是 http://cn.theasian.asia/?p=6925 今天就到这里，谢谢您的收看。 news@theasian.asia
