Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Lee Hyung-il held his first economic issues meeting with economic officials since taking office, discussing policies related to the electric vehicle industry and improvements to the pension system.
On September 27, Lee convened the meeting, which included Climate, Energy and Environment Minister Kim Sung-hwan, Employment and Labor Minister Kim Young-hoon, and Planning and Budget Minister Park Hong-keun, along with other key officials such as Industry and Trade Vice Minister Moon Shin-hak, Financial Services Commission Chairman Lee Ok-won, and Blue House Economic Growth Chief Ha Jun-kyung.
Participants reportedly discussed the direction of electric vehicle industry policies and potential reforms to the pension system.
The Ministry of Finance plans to hold these economic issues meetings regularly to discuss and coordinate major economic matters. Previously, Lee indicated that he would establish a new economic issues meeting similar to the former 'Green Room' meetings to enhance policy coordination and response speed among relevant ministries.
Meanwhile, on the same day, Lee visited the Dongjak Fire Station in Seoul to encourage firefighters working during the Chuseok holiday special duty.
