Lee Chan-jin, the head of the Financial Supervisory Service, will hold relay meetings by sector starting from the 28th.
According to financial authorities and the financial sector on the 22nd, Lee will meet with the chairman of the Bankers Association and the heads of 20 domestic banks on the 28th. He will then hold meetings with the insurance sector on the 1st of next month, the savings bank sector on the 4th, and the financial investment sector on the 8th.
The financial sector is paying attention to the 'influential' head of the FSS, who is known to have a special relationship with President Lee Jae-myung. Given that the former head, Lee Bok-hyun, known as part of the 'Yoon Suk-yeol faction,' had a strong presence, expectations are rising that the new head will gradually reveal his own colors.
An FSS official noted, "There won't be serious discussions, as this will just be a courtesy meeting after taking office."
Meanwhile, Lee stated at his inauguration ceremony on the 14th that he would significantly strengthen the financial consumer protection function.
