[Asia Economy Reporter Ryu Jeong-min] A senior official at the Blue House met with reporters on the 20th and stated regarding the 'Economic Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasure Headquarters' system led by Deputy Prime Minister for Economy Hong Nam-ki, "It does not mean that the Emergency Economic Meeting chaired by the President will be closed. However, it will no longer be held weekly as it has been until now."
The senior Blue House official explained, "For now, the Emergency Economic Meeting will be operated on an emergency basis. This week's Emergency Economic Meeting will still be chaired by the President."
The senior Blue House official added, "The Economic Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasure Headquarters, led by the Deputy Prime Minister, will concentrate the government's comprehensive capabilities on crisis management and jobs. If problems arise, the 6th and 7th Emergency Economic Meetings will be convened again."
