SEOUL, Aug. 30 (Xinhua) -- South Korea raised its 2017 defense budget to speed up efforts at building its homegrown missile defense system amid an advance in nuclear and missile technologies of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK).


Allotted defense budget for 2017 was 40.33 trillion won (36.1 billion U.S. dollars), up 4.0 percent from the previous year, according to the Ministry of Strategy and Finance. If the budget bill is approved through the National Assembly, it would surpass 40 trillion won for the first time.


Budget to build the Korea Air and Missile Defense (KAMD), the country's indigenous missile defense system, reached 533.1 billion won in 2017, up 40.5 percent from a year earlier.


The KAMD, which Seoul's military aims to deploy by mid-2020s, consists of medium-range surface-to-air missile (M-SAM), long-range surface-to-air missiles (L-SAM), U.S. Patriot missiles and early-warning radars to shoot down DPRK missiles at a terminal phase.


The acceleration in the KAMD development came amid what Seoul says growing nuclear and missile threats from Pyongyang following its fourth nuclear test in January and the launch in February of a long-range rocket.


On Aug. 24, the DPRK test-fired a ballistic missile from a submarine off its east coast, traveling 500 km toward Japan. The flight distance far exceeded 300 km, which South Korean defense ministry regards as a success.


Budget for Korea Fighter eXperimental (KF-X), the country's development program for homegrown combat aircrafts, surged to 303 billion won in 2017 from 67 billion won in 2016.


The KF-X is South Korea's largest-ever defense project, into which 17.6 trillion won will be spent to complete development by 2025 and deploy 120 next-generation homegrown fighter jets by 2032.


Welfare budget for soldiers increased 4.5 percent from the previous year to 17.15 trillion won for next year.


The 2017 budget for reunification of the two Koreas stood at 1.28 trillion won, down 16 percent from the previous year as relations between South Korea and the DPRK remain at a low point.


Almost all of civilian exchanges between the two Koreas have been suspended after Seoul shut down Kaesong Industrial Complex, the last remaining inter-Korean economic project, in retaliation for Pyongyang's nuclear test.


Meanwhile, the country's budget for 2017 totaled 400.7 trillion won, up 3.7 percent from the previous year. If approved, it would surpass 400 trillion won for the first time.


South Korea's national budget topped 100 trillion won in 2001, rising to 200 trillion won in 2005 and 300 trillion won in 2011.


Budget for welfare, health and labor would surpass 130 trillion won for the first time, up 5.3 percent from the previous year. The welfare budget's portion kept a record-breaking trend at 32.4 percent of the total.


Allotted budget for job creation would increase 10.7 percent, with those for youths jumping 15 percent.


Gross national income is forecast at 414.5 trillion won for 2017, up 6 percent from a year earlier. Among them, national revenue is expected to rise 8.4 percent to 241.8 trillion won.


The government set its outlook for 2017 real gross domestic product (GDP) growth at 3.0 percent.


Government debts are projected to reach 683 trillion won in 2017, up 38 trillion won from a year ago. The ratio of government debts to GDP is expected to rise from 40.1 percent to 40.4 percent next year.

News Analysis: THAAD's defense effect in S.Korea may be exaggerated


by Yoo Seungki


SEOUL, July 13 (Xinhua) -- South Korea decided Wednesday to deploy the U.S. missile defense system, namely the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD), to its southeastern region, but it might have limited defense effect against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK)'s missile attacks, experts said.


Seoul's defense ministry announced a plan to deploy one THAAD battery to the Seongsan-ri region of the Seongju county in North Gyeongsang province by the end of next year. Yoo Jeh-seung, deputy defense minister for policy, told a nationally televised briefing that U.S. interceptors can protect a half to two-thirds of South Korean territory.


Don’t hurry into buying an EA since the gross sales spiel looks convincing Wholesale Seattle Seahawks Jersey , and is actually portrayed as the good thing since sliced bread, given it employs XYZ Technobabble feature. Mostly it’s marketing boasting. As My partner and i said above Wholesale Tampa Bay Buccaneers Jersey , do the research, evaluate trading results done by independent testing bodies Wholesale Tennessee Titans Jersey , preferably on live dealing servers, and if you do end in place buying a great EA Wholesale Washington Redskin Jersey , do two months of demo testing before you trade with real money.


There are several causes of this. One is that a lot of forex software programs vendors are bound by a 60 day money back guarantee, and if you ever test the EA Cheap Arizona Cardinals Jersey , on an account whose proportions corresponds to your amount you are likely to be investing as soon as you trade live, and that wipes out your bank account Cheap Atlanta Falcons Jersey , you are able to request a refund. As several vendors sell their software with the ClickBank payment processing internet site, which offers a blanket 60 day guarantee on all digital solutions sold by way of their online site Cheap Baltimore Ravens Jersey , you are certainly not even necessarily banking on the superior graces with the vendors when it comes to getting a refund.


Be knowledgeable however that will ClickBank frowns with purchasers who make a habit of refund.
