Since Choi Sang-mok's inauguration as Deputy Prime Minister for Economy and Minister of Strategy and Finance, the Ministry of Strategy and Finance (MOSF) has carried out its largest-ever regular personnel reshuffle at the director level.

On the 23rd, MOSF announced that under the recognition that it must become a 'dynamic' organization, it conducted a historic personnel movement replacing 100 out of 117 director positions (85%), the largest scale ever.

The general directors of each bureau were largely composed of candidates from the 45th Administrative Examination. Most of the deputy directors who gained experience in various divisions and bureaus succeeded to ensure continuity of work and organizational stability.

To break down silos between divisions and bureaus, cross-appointments between the offices of the 1st and 2nd Deputy Ministers were expanded (16 personnel), creating an environment where policy innovation can actively take place.

Additionally, the number of first-time director appointments was significantly increased to 20 compared to 11 last year. Directors born in the 1980s were also doubled to 10 from 5 last year.

This personnel reshuffle also strengthened diversity within the organization by expanding the number of female directors and those appointed through the main public official recruitment.

MOSF explained, "This personnel reshuffle was finalized after Deputy Prime Minister Choi discussed the personnel standards and directions with the 1st and 2nd Deputy Ministers, and reflected the opinions of Grade 1 officials and bureau chiefs based on individual preferences for divisions and bureaus."
