Acting President Choi Sang-mok said the domestic political situation and the launch of the new U.S. government are expected to increase economic uncertainty at home and abroad.

He said that he will hold weekly meetings on foreign economic issues to check pending issues such as the launch of the new U.S. government, which is 15 days away, while doing his best to resolve this uncertainty.

Let's hear the remarks from the first meeting this morning.

[Choi Sang-mok / Acting President: The Korean economy is expected to experience significant internal and external uncertainties this year due to the domestic political situation and the launch of a new U.S. government. There are also concerns at home and abroad that there may be a gap in responding to uncertainties in the Korean economy in a severe situation. With the determination that our economy will get better as much as it has resolved the uncertainty, we will do our best to overcome the uncertainty and manage our economy as stably as possible. Every week, we will hold a meeting on foreign economic issues in person to systematically check, share, and preemptively respond to foreign economic issues such as the launch of the new U.S. government.]
