Government Conducts 'Asia Mid-Level Public Officials Financial Policy Training' Online Remotely

[Asia Economy Reporter Kwangho Lee] The Ministry of Economy and Finance announced that it will conduct financial policy training for mid-level public officials from Asia in a non-face-to-face format from the 2nd to the 4th.

This year, 35 mid-level financial policy officials from 13 countries, including Ministry of Finance officials and central bank employees, will participate online.

Since its inception in 2006, the financial policy training has annually invited public officials from ASEAN and Central Asia to share Korea's financial system and policy experiences as well as case studies from participating countries. The program consists of expert lectures on Korea's financial policies, visits to financial institutions, industrial site inspections, and historical and cultural explorations, playing an important role in strengthening financial cooperation with regional countries.

In its 15th year, due to the global spread of COVID-19, instead of inviting officials to Korea, the program has shifted to an online non-face-to-face format focusing on expert lectures and discussions among participants.

In particular, through the process of comparing and analyzing major countries' macroeconomic policies to overcome the economic crisis caused by COVID-19 and deriving implications for Asian countries, the event will provide an opportunity for attendees to enhance mutual understanding.

The Ministry of Economy and Finance stated, "Although direct exchanges have become difficult due to COVID-19, as a leading country in the region, we plan to utilize non-face-to-face methods to share experiences and knowledge and strengthen financial cooperation with ASEAN and Central Asian countries."
