The National Economic Advisory Council, the president's economic advisory body, said on the 18th that it will officially launch.
The National Economic Advisory Council is a presidential committee, with the president serving as chair and the vice chair at the Minister level. In the first-term National Economic Advisory Council under the Lee Jae-myung administration, former lawmaker Kim Sung-sik was appointed vice chair.
The National Economic Advisory Council decided to divide 29 advisory Commissioners, including Seoul National University Professor Ryu Geun-gwan, into five subcommittees to discuss key topics by subcommittee.
The growth economy subcommittee will advise on the macroeconomy, and the livelihood economy subcommittee will advise on welfare and jobs. The future planning subcommittee will provide policy advice on science, technology, and talent development, and the strategic economic cooperation subcommittee will advise on establishing tailored strategies by partner country. The economic security subcommittee plans to advise on trade and commerce.
