As a result of the Economic Ministers' Meeting, let me begin the briefing. There is no Q&A session today. The Deputy Prime Minister will announce his position as a result.

[Choi Sang-mok / Deputy Prime Minister for Economy]
My fellow citizens, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Strategy and Finance Choi Sang-mok.

The economy team will tell the people about the situation last night. The government will do its best to resolve economic issues so that it does not affect our economy, business activities, and the daily lives of the people under any circumstances.

In addition, to alleviate concerns about our economic situation, we will closely communicate with international credit rating agencies, economic lines in major countries such as the United States, domestic economic organizations, and financial markets and share the situation quickly.

In addition, we will operate a 24-hour economic and financial situation inspection TF to operate a real-time monitoring system and take thorough care of exports with related organizations to prevent disruptions to the real economy.

My fellow citizens, in order for our economy to return to a stable state, it is more important than ever that each economic entity, including the people, businesses, and the government, will join forces.

We ask you to continue your livelihood and corporate activities in your respective areas so that investment, employment, and consumption can be maintained normally. The government will also do its best to quickly resolve the uncertainties facing our economy.

[MC]
This is the end of the briefing.
