Lee Eogwon, Chairman of the Financial Services Commission, presented awards for outstanding proactive administration to exemplary public officials for the third quarter of this year.

To select the outstanding officials, the Financial Services Commission received 15 cases through internal and external nominations. After evaluations by a proactive administration monitoring group composed of ordinary citizens and private members of the Proactive Administration Committee, eight public officials responsible for eight outstanding cases were confirmed at the 6th Proactive Administration Committee meeting on the 9th. The Commission plans to grant incentives, such as the highest grade for future performance bonuses, to the awarded officials.

Among the "Outstanding" cases were four initiatives: the "Strengthened Household Debt Management Plan" (by Deputy Director Nam Jinho), which designed loan regulations to minimize the impact on non-homeowners and genuine demanders amid rising household debt and real estate prices; the "Voice Phishing Information Sharing and Analysis AI Platform" (by Deputy Director Yoo Eunji), which established an AI-based system to prevent voice phishing; the launch of the "150 Trillion Won National Growth Fund" (by Deputy Director Kim Kitae), which invests in advanced strategic industries; and the "New Leap Fund Launch" (by Deputy Director Jang Wonseok).

For the Encouragement Award, several cases related to public financial policy were included. These were: the "Introduction of Business Development Companies (BDC)" (by Deputy Director Nam Changwoo), which aims to foster a corporate ecosystem centered on private capital; the "Practical Plan to Eradicate Unfair Trading in the Capital Market" (by Deputy Director Kim Hamin), which establishes a 'one-strike-out' policy against unfair trading; the "New Youth Future Savings Account" (by Deputy Director Kim Heejin), which supports asset building for young people; and the "Measures to Enhance Corporate Finance Competitiveness in the Securities Industry" (by Deputy Director Jeong Jongheon), which promotes funding for productive sectors.
