Shin Hyun-song, governor of the Bank of Korea, and Koo Yun-cheol, deputy prime minister for the economy and Minister of Economy and Finance, who head Korea's economic and currency policy, will hold their first meeting on the 23rd.
According to the Bank of Korea (BOK) and the Ministry of Economy and Finance on the 21st, Governor Shin and Deputy Prime Minister Koo will have a breakfast meeting at the Bankers Club in the Bank Hall in Jung-gu, Seoul, on the morning of the 23rd. It comes three days after Shin took office, the earliest on record for a meeting between a BOK governor and a deputy prime minister.
The meeting is an introductory session in which Deputy Prime Minister Koo congratulates Governor Shin on taking office and the two sides reaffirm cooperation between their institutions. While no specific agenda items are planned, responses are expected to be discussed given the continued uncertainty stemming from the Middle East situation.
