Choi Sang-mok, acting president and Minister of Strategy and Finance, said on the 17th, "We will hold a presentation on the Korean economy (IR) organized by the Ambassador for International Financial Cooperation."
Choi noted during a session on macroeconomics and financial issues (F4 Meeting) that "Each institution must actively explain the solid fundamentals of our economy to the international community to ensure there are no tremors in external creditworthiness."
The meeting was attended by Lee Chang-yong, Governor of the Bank of Korea; Kim Byeong-hwan, Chairman of the Financial Services Commission; and Lee Bok-hyun, head of the Financial Supervisory Service.
Choi urged, "Given the significant domestic and external uncertainties with the inauguration of the new U.S. government on the 20th, please closely monitor U.S. government policies and international financial market trends" and emphasized, "Do your utmost to manage the financial and foreign exchange markets as stably as possible."
