The Bank of Korea's 2020 First Half Personnel Changes... Excluding Deputy Governor Appointments

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Eun-byeol] The Bank of Korea announced personnel changes for the first half of 2020 on the 30th, including 88 promotions.

According to the Bank of Korea, the promotions include 9 at Grade 1, 18 at Grade 2, 26 at Grade 3, and 35 at Grade 4, totaling 88 people. Among them, 15 are women (1 at Grade 2, 3 at Grade 3, and 11 at Grade 4), accounting for about 17%.

The appointment for the vacant position of Deputy Governor, which had attracted attention, was not included this time. Therefore, if there is an appointment for Deputy Governor, subsequent personnel changes may follow, but most department heads (directors) retained their existing positions.

The scale of department head transfers is seven, with new appointments including the Director of Regional Cooperation Office, Director of Economic Education Office, Director of Talent Development Institute, Head of Beijing Office, Head of Mokpo Headquarters, Head of Gangwon Headquarters, and Head of Ulsan Headquarters.

The Bank of Korea stated, "Most headquarters departments retained their personnel considering that many replacements have been made recently and the tenure has not been long," adding, "If there is an appointment for Deputy Governor, a slight follow-up personnel change for department heads may be implemented."
