Hankyung.com introduces: CODIT Launches AI-Powered English Policy Dashboard to Help Global Companies Track Korean Regulatory Changes
New platform provides real-time updates on Korean legislation and policy shifts for government affairs and legal teams
SEOUL, South Korea, Feb. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A news report from Hankyung.com:
CODIT, an AI-driven regulatory intelligence platform, has launched an English-language policy dashboard designed to help multinational corporations track legislative and regulatory changes in South Korea in real time. The platform aims to support government affairs professionals, legal teams, and compliance officers by providing instant updates on policy shifts, enforcement trends, and legislative developments affecting foreign businesses.
The English Policy Dashboard is the first AI-powered platform of its kind to offer automated translation, legislative tracking, and policy risk assessment for global companies operating in Korea. With increasing regulatory scrutiny in areas such as artificial intelligence, ESG disclosure, and foreign investment, CODIT's solution is designed to help companies proactively manage compliance risks and align corporate strategy with evolving regulations.
"Korea's regulatory environment is shifting rapidly, and global companies need more than delayed translations or fragmented updates," said Ji Eun Chung, CEO of CODIT and a former OECD policy expert. "Our AI-powered dashboard delivers real-time intelligence, giving legal and government affairs teams the ability to anticipate changes, mitigate risks, and make strategic decisions with confidence."
AI-Powered Monitoring for Legislative and Compliance Teams
CODIT's English Policy Dashboard includes several key features designed to streamline regulatory monitoring for multinational businesses:
Legislative Tracking: Real-time updates on proposed, pending, and enacted laws impacting corporate governance, AI regulation, ESG compliance, and digital policy.
AI-Powered Policy Insights: Automated translation and expert analysis of government regulations, policy trends, and enforcement actions.
Regulatory Risk Monitoring: A ranked list of Fair Trade Commission penalties, tracking top regulatory fines with live currency adjustments.
Government Press Releases & Statements: Translations of official announcements, policy updates, and legislative briefings for global accessibility.
CODIT's launch comes as global businesses increasingly seek more efficient tools to navigate Korea's policy landscape, particularly in highly regulated industries such as finance, technology, and pharmaceuticals.
"Regulatory uncertainty is one of the biggest challenges for companies entering or expanding in Korea," said Chung. "By leveraging AI, we're making it easier for multinational corporations to stay ahead of policy changes and regulatory trends that could impact their operations."
Global Business Leaders Join CODIT's Policy Webinar
Ahead of the launch, nearly 200 business leaders from Korea, Japan, the United States, Germany, and Singapore participated in CODIT's policy webinar, "Navigating Korea's 2025 Policy & Regulatory Landscape." The event featured Hong Ihk-pyo, a three-term National Assembly member and former Floor Leader of Korea's largest political party, discussing key regulatory shifts in 2025. CODIT CEO Ji Eun Chung provided a comparative analysis of Korea's regulatory direction against key markets, including the U.S. and Asia, offering insights for multinational corporations navigating compliance and market risks.
Expansion to U.S. and International Markets
The launch of the English Policy Dashboard is part of CODIT's broader global expansion strategy, with plans to enter the United States, Japan, and the European Union in 2025. CODIT, already trusted by Fortune 500 companies, is building out its AI-powered regulatory intelligence platform to offer policy tracking solutions across multiple jurisdictions.
"As regulatory complexity increases worldwide, companies must take a more proactive approach to compliance and policy monitoring," Chung said. "We are scaling our AI-driven intelligence platform to provide businesses with real-time, cross-border policy insights."

Trump gets an unexpected ally in East Asia
ALL THE WORLD'S A STAGE — South Korean President Lee Jae-myung arrived in Canada today for his G7 debut, less than two weeks after winning a snap election held after his predecessor, Yoon Suk Yeol, was removed for unlawfully declaring martial law. By stepping on the global stage so early in his presidency, Lee is sending a message: The domestic instability within his country is over, and South Korea is ready to be a reliable partner again to global leaders. Lee, however, is stepping into the spotlight during a particularly tumultuous time. President Donald Trump's tariffs have shaken the global economy. New security alliances are emerging among countries like China, North Korea and Russia. Meanwhile, Trump's tariffs are causing fissures in existing alliances with U.S. allies, including South Korea. At first glance, a progressive like Lee might seem like an awkward fit with American security interests, especially compared to Yoon, a conservative who staunchly allied himself with the U.S and its foreign policy priorities. Historically, Korean progressives have tried a different tack, looking to soften relationships with China and North Korea, while antagonizing Japan for failing to properly acknowledge its history of colonization within the peninsula. But Lee has gone out on a limb to clarify that he's not an ideological purist and will pursue 'pragmatic' foreign policies, even saying that he's willing to 'crawl between [Trump's] legs if necessary, and if that's what I have to do for my people.' That means Lee will likely avoid any moves that disrupt the U.S.-Korea alliance, including getting too cozy with China or disrupting ties with Japan. Already, Lee has expressed his openness to holding a trilateral meeting with Japan's Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba and Trump at the G7 summit. It's an approach that will be welcomed in Washington since the U.S. needs its two strongest allies in East Asia — South Korea and Japan — to work together to combat China's growing influence in the region and North Korea's developing arsenal. Where Lee and Trump align is their approach to the U.S.-South Korea military alliance: Since his first presidency, Trump has pushed South Korea to take on more responsibility for its own defense, and South Korean progressives have historically been more open to increasing budget spending, said Karl Friedhoff, an expert in East Asian security at the Chicago Council on Global Affairs. Friedhoff pointed to former progressive President Moon Jae-in — who famously had a friendly relationship with Trump and helped him set up the U.S.-North Korea summit in 2018 — and his push for the largest defense spending increases in the country's history. Lee has also emphasized a need to strengthen the military during his campaign, which could help South Korea take on a larger role in joint defense efforts — news that would delight Trump. Lee's commitment to improving ties with North Korea, which had completely deteriorated under Yoon, may also help the U.S.-South Korea alliance in the long run, Friedhoff said. 'If North Korea is your main enemy, that means you're going to spend more on land forces and the army. But if it's no longer the main enemy, that means you can begin to look elsewhere for your defense priorities,' Friedhoff said. 'Ultimately, that's really good for the alliance, because we want South Korea to do more, and the chips that they have are going to be helpful for the alliance long term.' Improved relationships between South and North Korea would also be uniquely beneficial for Trump, who has previously expressed interest in building closer ties with Supreme Leader of North Korea Kim Jong Eun. It remains to be seen if Kim is interested in reengaging with Trump following a failed summit in 2018, which was seen as an embarrassment for Kim at the time. If Trump wants a second chance at a summit, it's far more likely to happen under Lee, who believes dialogue is the best way to diffuse nuclear tensions, than Yoon, who designated North Korea as the 'main enemy.' And while there have been headlines about Lee warming up to China — Lee and President Xi Jinping pledged to have a closer economic and security partnership — any concerns of South Korea prioritizing China over the U.S. are likely overblown: 'The United States is like an insecure romantic partner,' Friedhoff said. 'Any hint that South Korea might have an improved relationship with China, or North Korea, for that matter, has everyone saying, 'Oh, South Korea is going to move to China's side.'' 'Something that every progressive president has emphasized is that the alliance is not going anywhere. There's no intention to move away from it,' Friedhoff said, pointing out that South Korea is simply repositioning itself with China as it considers ways to bolster its economy. 'The expectation that South Korea is going to move away from China and take a harder line — as the Trump administration will want, even as the economy is so dependent on China — is just not realistic,' he said.

What'd I Miss? — U.S. builds up military presence in Middle East: The USS Nimitz aircraft carrier rerouted from the South China Sea to the Middle East today, a move that will put two U.S. aircraft carriers in the region as the conflict worsens between Israel and Iran. Dozens of Air Force refueling aircraft also left their U.S. bases this weekend in a new deployment to Europe, a preventative measure to support any operations in the Middle East, according to two defense officials, who were granted anonymity to discuss internal operations. — Department of Energy looks to gut sex discrimination protections for education programs, athletics: The Trump administration is seeking to rescind key civil rights protections for sex discrimination in sports and education programs through a swift regulatory process at an unlikely agency: the Department of Energy. Buried in a list of more than three dozen regulation changes published in May, the DOE is moving to rescind regulations that oversee sports participation and sex discrimination protections for students in education programs. The direct final rules align with a series of executive orders signed by President Donald Trump earlier this year that seek to ban transgender athletes from women's sports and one that proclaimed there are only two sexes — male and female. — American Bar Association sues Trump administration over executive orders targeting law firms: The American Bar Association is suing the White House to stop President Donald Trump's use of executive orders to punish and pressure law firms. The ABA — a voluntary professional organization for lawyers — alleged in its complaint filed in federal court in Washington today that the executive orders pursued by the Trump administration, as well as the deals it has reached with some of America's top law firms seeking a reprieve from federal sanctions, have cast a 'blizzard-like chill' across the legal industry. — Trump fires former Biden chair from Nuclear Regulatory Commission: President Donald Trump has terminated Commissioner Christopher Hanson from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the latest move by the White House to assert control over independent agencies. Hanson said in a statement today that he was removed from the position Friday 'without cause' and 'contrary to existing law and longstanding precedent regarding removal of independent agency appointees.' — Trump administration slapped with 'impoundment' violation for freezing library, museum funding: For the second time this year, the federal government's top watchdog concluded today that the Trump administration violated the law by withholding funding that Congress already approved. This time, the Government Accountability Office found the Trump administration flouted the law by clawing back federal cash Congress enacted to support libraries, archives and museums throughout the country. By freezing money that's supposed to flow through the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the Trump administration violated the 51-year-old law barring presidents from withholding federal dollars without approval from Congress, the watchdog concluded. — Trump: 'There would be no war' if Russia were in G8: 'The G7 used to be the G8,' Donald Trump mused after a bilateral meeting with host Prime Minister Mark Carney at the G7 summit in the Canadian Rockies. Standing next to a mute Carney today, the U.S. president blamed his predecessor, Barack Obama, and previous Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for dropping Russia from the alliance over its 2014 invasion of the Crimean peninsula. 'Barack Obama and a person named Trudeau didn't want to have Russia in. And I would say that was a mistake because you wouldn't have a war right now,' he said of Moscow's ongoing invasion of Ukraine. AROUND THE WORLD READYING FOR WAR — All of NATO's eastern flank countries are revisiting crisis response protocols for health-care facilities, organizing training exercises, investing in ballistic helmets and vests, and shifting operating theaters underground. The conflict in Ukraine has shattered the illusion that Europe is safe from war. 'It's not a question of if [Russia] will attack,' said Ragnar Vaiknemets, deputy director general of the Estonian Health Board, which oversees preparedness for crises from pandemics to war. 'It's a question about when.' Russia's invasion of Ukraine has shown that modern conflicts no longer spare health services — or the civilians they serve. Eastern European countries are taking note. Located just 50 kilometers from the EU's external border with Belarus, Vilnius University Hospital Santaros Clinics is developing underground infrastructure, shelters, helicopter landing sites and autonomous systems that would allow it to function even if electricity or water supplies were cut off. Santaros is not unusual. In Estonia, in addition to body armor for ambulance crews, satellite phones would be distributed to maintain communications if traditional networks fail. Plans are even in place to generate an independent internet network if necessary. Read POLITICO EU's feature on hospitals' war readiness here. KNOCK IT OFF — Convincing President Donald Trump to stop his global trade war is among the EU's top priorities for the G7 summit in Canada, the bloc's leaders said. European Commission boss Ursula von der Leyen and President of the European Council António Costa on Sunday both urged Trump to stop hurting the global economy with tariffs. 'Let's keep trade between us fair, predictable and open. All of us need to avoid protectionist measures — this is an important message that the G7 can send to the markets and to the world,' von der Leyen told reporters, speaking alongside Costa at the first press conference of the G7 leaders' meeting in Canada. Costa said the EU can't increase defense spending, as Trump wants it to, if it has to fight a trade war at the same time. Nightly Number RADAR SWEEP BITE SIZED TELEVISION — The sitcom, running at around 22 minutes per episode, used to define 'short-form' television. Now, it's a whole lot shorter than that. Wildly popular already in much of Asia, in particular in China, 'microdramas' are composed of 60 to 90 second 'chapters' that consumers can watch vertically on their phones on platforms like TikTok or other streaming video apps. They have a coherent story, but they are very easy to dip in and out of. And now, they're finding some interest in the U.S. as well. These shows hire non-union actors and crew and produce their content for cheap — and rack up views and cash doing so.

CenterPoint Energy sends large temporary emergency generation units to San Antonio to support state's energy needs and lower costs for Houston customers
Company delivers on unprecedented contribution of approximately $200 million of value to the State of Texas First five of the 15 large temporary emergency generation units deployed to San Antonio area to help address regional power generation shortfall Historic agreement with state and industry partners will help address Texas' power generation needs and lower bills for Houston-area customers by approximately $2 per month by 2027 HOUSTON, June 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- This weekend, as part of an effort to help the State of Texas meet its current and future energy needs, CenterPoint Energy announced that the first five of 15 large temporary emergency generation units began leaving the Greater Houston area to be deployed to the San Antonio region. To help with staging and installation in San Antonio, the units are departing Greater Houston in a series of three waves over the next two months. In total, CenterPoint will be providing 15 large temporary emergency generation units for up to two years as part of an unprecedented, Texas-driven solution reached in close collaboration over the last six months with the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), elected leaders, regulators and industry partners. In addition to helping reduce the risk of power generation shortfalls in San Antonio this summer and next, the cost of the deployed units will be removed from Houston-area customers' monthly bills, saving average CenterPoint customers approximately $2 per month by 2027. "All Texans can be proud that this creative, collaborative solution is moving forward to help meet our great state's significant energy needs and improve reliability across Texas. This unprecedented contribution of value from CenterPoint to the state will help reduce the risk of energy shortfalls in San Antonio and will immediately lower monthly bills for our Houston-area customers. We look forward to successfully delivering the first five units and additional deliveries planned in the weeks ahead," said Jason Ryan, Executive Vice President of Regulatory Services and Government Affairs. Key Facts: Delivering CenterPoint's Texas-Driven Generation SolutionIn early June, ERCOT, CenterPoint and industry partners signed final agreements to begin delivery of the 15 large temporary emergency generation units for up to a two-year service period in San Antonio starting this summer. The plan includes the following components: Lowering bills for Greater Houston-area customers: Costs associated with the large leased temporary emergency generation units will start coming out of rates for Houston electric customers in the coming months. By 2027, bills will be reduced by an estimated $2 per month for the average customer who uses 1,000 kWh/month. Meeting Texas' current and future energy needs: The 15 large units (27MW-32MW) will provide critical generation capacity in the Greater San Antonio area to help avoid the risk of shortfalls. The units each provide enough power for approximately 30,000 homes and were acquired following the devastation of Winter Storm Uri across Texas in 2021. Forgoing revenue and profit for 15 units: CenterPoint will receive no revenue or profit from the 15 large units based on the agreement with ERCOT.

Unisys Announces Pricing of $700 Million Private Offering of Senior Secured Notes; Net Proceeds to Be Used to Refinance Existing Notes and Partially Fund U.S. Pension Plan
BLUE BELL, Pa., June 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Unisys Corporation (NYSE: UIS) ("Unisys") announced today the pricing of $700 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Notes due 2031 (the "Senior Secured Notes") through a private offering to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A and to certain persons outside of the United States pursuant to Regulation S, each under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The offering of the Senior Secured Notes is expected to close on June 27, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions. Concurrently with the commencement of the offering, Unisys commenced a cash tender offer (the "Tender Offer") to purchase any and all of its outstanding $485 million aggregate principal amount of 6.875% Senior Secured Notes due November 1, 2027 (the "Existing Notes"). In connection with the Tender Offer, Unisys is also soliciting consents with respect to the Existing Notes in order to amend the existing indenture governing the terms of the Existing Notes to eliminate substantially all restrictive covenants and certain events of default applicable to the Existing Notes, release the collateral securing the Existing Notes and modify certain other provisions contained in the indenture (collectively with the Tender Offer, the "Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation"). Unisys intends to use the net proceeds from the offering of the Senior Secured Notes, together with cash on hand, to finance the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation and the payment of related premiums, fees and expenses, to redeem the Existing Notes that remain outstanding following the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation on or after the par call date for the Existing Notes, to fund a portion of its long-term pension deficit and postretirement liabilities and for general corporate purposes. The Senior Secured Notes will be guaranteed on a senior secured basis by material domestic subsidiaries of Unisys (the "subsidiary guarantors") on the issue date and, in the future, will be guaranteed by each U.S. domestic subsidiary that guarantees the company's ABL credit facility and by each restricted subsidiary that guarantees or becomes obligated as a co-issuer or co-borrower of certain capital markets debt issued or borrowed by Unisys or any subsidiary guarantor. The Senior Secured Notes and the guarantees will be secured by liens on substantially all assets of Unisys and the subsidiary guarantors (including a pledge of 100% of the capital stock of each first tier domestic and foreign subsidiary of Unisys and the subsidiary guarantors), which liens will be subordinated to the liens on ABL collateral in favor of the ABL secured parties, subject to certain limitations and permitted liens. The Senior Secured Notes will be issued at par and will bear interest at a rate of 10.625% per year until maturity, payable semiannually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on January 15, 2026. The Senior Secured Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements of the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction. The Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of various conditions, including the consummation of the offering of Senior Secured Notes, with net proceeds in an amount that, together with cash on hand, is sufficient to consummate the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation, and other customary conditions. This press release is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any of these securities nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction. This press release is not an offer to purchase, or soliciting consent with respect to, any of the Existing Notes. Any such offer or solicitation is made exclusively by, and subject to the conditions set forth in, the offer to purchase and consent solicitation statement.
