About — Industrial Policy
Industrial policy is a government's strategic framework for shaping the structure, growth, and competitiveness of its manufacturing and services sectors through incentives, regulations, and public investment. It is significant because it can steer resources toward priority industries, boost employment, and enhance export capacity. For example, South Korea’s 1960s policy offered tax breaks and credit to heavy‑industry firms, catalyzing economic development.
