KRSamsung Electronics has announced plans to revise its employee housing loan program by limiting eligibility to homes of 85 square meters or smaller in the greater Seoul area and six major cities. This change comes after criticism that the low-interest loans could contribute to rising property prices. Previously, the program offered up to 500 million won ($326,700) in loans, with varying amounts based on employee position. Samsung is also considering making the maximum loan amount equal for all applicants while implementing the size restriction. Financial regulators have expressed concerns about corporate housing loans potentially undermining lending regulations.
