The 1st 'MoEF 2030 Advisory Group' Launched... 20 Members Including University Students and Young Farmers

[Asia Economy Sejong=Reporter Kim Hyewon] On the 22nd, the Ministry of Economy and Finance announced that it held the inauguration ceremony of the 1st Ministry of Economy and Finance 2030 Advisory Group at the Government Seoul Office.

This is the first youth advisory group launched by the Ministry of Economy and Finance to reflect the voices of young people in policies in line with the trend of expanding youth participation in national affairs. Through an open recruitment in October, 20 young people with diverse backgrounds interested in the Ministry’s policies (university students, finance and tax experts, researchers, venture entrepreneurs, young farmers, etc.) were selected.

The advisory group, led by Kim Jongdeok (28), a youth aide of the Ministry of Economy and Finance appointed on the 14th (Special Grade Level 6), will perform roles such as monitoring and suggesting improvements on major Ministry policies, collecting and conveying youth opinions.

At the inauguration ceremony, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy and Finance Choo Kyung-ho emphasized the advisory group’s role as a blueprint for youth-friendly economic policies and a bridge connecting youth and the Ministry. He urged them to convey young people’s brilliant ideas and vivid voices without distortion. He also stated that the Ministry will actively reflect the advisory group’s opinions in future policies and provide systematic support for their advisory activities.

During the inauguration, the advisory group’s activity plan for the next year was also discussed. The advisory group will serve as a regular channel to deliver young people’s vivid voices on major issues and policies to the Ministry. The group will autonomously select topics within four subcommittees, prepare and present policy proposal reports, and outstanding policies will be awarded after review and reflected in future policies.
