청, One-Day Delay in Korean New Deal Announcement... Considering Park Won-soon Funeral

[Asia Economy Reporter Park So-yeon] The Blue House has postponed the announcement date of the comprehensive plan for the 'Korean New Deal,' proposed as a strategy to overcome the national crisis caused by the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), from the originally scheduled 13th to the 14th.

This is interpreted as taking into consideration the funeral schedule of Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon.

President Moon Jae-in initially planned to hold the 'Korean New Deal' national report conference on the 13th to announce major projects and the scale of funding for them.

On the 8th, President Moon received a report on the comprehensive plan for the Korean New Deal from Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy and Finance Hong Nam-ki and instructed preparations to report it in detail to the public.

However, as Mayor Park's funeral was set for the 13th, it is reported that the date of the report conference was inevitably postponed.

Meanwhile, the Korean New Deal report conference will be held as part of the 7th Emergency Economic Meeting.
