[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Sehee] The Ministry of Economy and Finance is seeking opportunities for economic recovery through a New Year's staff workshop. They also plan to focus on discussing directions for improving organizational culture.

According to the Ministry on the 18th, team leaders (grade 4) and above with positions in the Ministry will hold a staff workshop at the Sejong Convention Center in the morning.

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy and Finance Hong Nam-ki, First Vice Minister Kim Yong-beom, and Second Vice Minister Koo Yoon-chul will attend.

Deputy Prime Minister Hong previously stated at an expanded executive meeting, "This is a very important time for our economy, so we will approach our work with the attitude that the economy is the top priority, without hesitation."

At the workshop, Deputy Prime Minister Hong will give a lecture on the 'Korean Economy' himself. This will be followed by discussions on topics such as economic revitalization and organizational culture.

Ministry staff will review employment indicators as well as foreign exchange and financial market conditions. They will also explore ways to strengthen global risk management.

A Ministry official said, "With Deputy Prime Minister Hong and Vice Minister Koo deciding not to run in the April 15 general election, the unsettled atmosphere has somewhat calmed down," adding, "There will likely be a call at this workshop to create momentum for economic recovery together."

Another official commented on Deputy Prime Minister Hong's lecture, "The Deputy Prime Minister's lecture has been a customary part every year," but added, "This time, a somewhat broader topic was selected, so it is expected that there will be an analysis of the overall macroeconomy and proposals for solutions."
