청와대가 7일 향후 2차 추가경정예산안 편성 가능성 관련해 "이번 (1차)추경은 직접 충격 3개월·간접 충격 6개월을 상정해 편성했다"며 "지금 상황에선 너무 앞서 나간 얘기"라며 일축했다.
김용범 정책실장은 이날 오전 춘추관 브리핑에서 "이번 추경은 26조 원 규모로 편성했는데 신속 심의·집행하는 게 최우선 목표"라며 이같이 전했다.
그러면서 "3개월~6개월 정도는 충분히 대응할 수 있는 수준으로 마련된 만큼 그 이후 상황은 (1차)추경을 충실히 집행 후 고려할 문제"라며 "(중동)전황과 밀접 관련돼 있어 거기에 맞춰 대응해야 할 것 같고, 일단 1차 추경을 신속 집행하는 게 우선"이라고 거듭 강조했다.
또 석유화학 산업 핵심 원료 나프타 수급·가격 관련해선 "나프타는 물량이 제일 급선무로 가격을 일부 더 주더라도 물량을 확보해야 한다"며 "물량 확보 최우선 정책을 설계 중"이라고 했다.
이어 "이번 추경에 가격 보조를 50%까지 할 수 있는 예산이 4800억 원 반영돼 있는데 정유사·국회 소통 과정서 비율을 더 높여주자는 여당 제안도 있었다"며 "가격이 높아지면 정책 금융·세금 유예도 있고, 다른 정책 수단으로 피해를 분담해야 할 것 같다"고 했다.
더불어 "소비자에 대해선 추경에 반영된 것으로 하고, 안되는 건 예비비로 추가 정책을 설계해야 할 것 같다"고 덧붙였다.

Blue House: "First supplementary budget to be submitted and compiled in 3 to 6 months... Talking about a second supplementary budget at this point is premature."
Kim Yong-bum: "We have drawn up a first supplementary budget of 26 trillion won, and our top priority is swift deliberation and execution. We have allocated 480 billion won for a 50% price subsidy; if prices rise, we will share the burden through policy financing, tax deferrals, and other policy measures."

On the 7th, the Blue House dismissed the possibility of formulating a second supplementary budget, stating, "This (first) supplementary budget was drawn up assuming a three-month direct impact and a six-month indirect impact," and adding, "Given the current situation, it is premature to talk about it."
Chief of Policy Kim Yong-bum conveyed this during a briefing at the Chunchugwan this morning, saying, "This supplementary budget has been drawn up at a scale of 26 trillion won, and the top priority is its swift deliberation and execution."
He further emphasized, "Since it has been prepared at a level sufficient to respond for about three to six months, the situation thereafter is a matter to be considered after faithfully executing the (first) supplementary budget."
He added, "It is closely related to the war situation (in the Middle East), so we need to respond accordingly; for now, the priority is the swift execution of the first supplementary budget." Regarding the supply and price of naphtha, a key raw material for the petrochemical industry, he stated, "For naphtha, volume is the most urgent priority; we must secure supplies even if it means paying a slightly higher price," adding that "we are currently designing a policy that prioritizes securing volume."
He continued, "The supplementary budget includes 480 billion won to provide price subsidies of up to 50%, but during the communication process with oil refineries and the National Assembly, there was a proposal from the ruling party to increase this ratio further." He added, "If prices rise, we will likely need to share the burden through other policy measures, such as policy financing and tax deferrals."
He further added, "For consumers, we will proceed with what is reflected in the supplementary budget, and for what cannot be covered, we will need to design additional policies using reserve funds."
