The Ministry of Economy and Finance announced on the 3rd that it will hold a financial policy training program from the 4th to the 15th, inviting mid-level public officials from major Asian countries.
Seventeen mid-level officials from the ministries of finance and central banks of 12 countries are participating in this training. In 2020 and last year, the program was conducted online due to the impact of COVID-19, but it has now resumed as an in-person training.
The participating countries are Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Vietnam, Brunei, Indonesia, Thailand, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan.
Experts from domestic academia, research institutes, and financial institutions will serve as lecturers, sharing Korea's economic development process and financial policy experiences.
Additionally, the trainees will visit the Bank of Korea, the Financial Supervisory Service, and the Korea Exchange to learn about Korea's financial system and institutions.
The Ministry of Economy and Finance explained, "Through this training, we expect to enhance participants' understanding of Korea's economic and financial policies and to help strengthen economic and financial cooperation with regional countries in the future by building networks between our public officials and the participants."
In November, additional training will be held for senior officials from regional countries. The financial policy training program has been implemented since 2006 to strengthen financial cooperation between Korea and ASEAN and Central Asian countries, and this year marks its 17th session.
