Financial Services Commission Holds 2030 Youth Advisory Group Meeting: "Active Support for the Young Generation"

The Financial Services Commission announced that it held a regular meeting of the “2030 Youth Advisory Group” in Gwanghwamun, Seoul, on the afternoon of January 23, 2026, to discuss the direction of youth financial policy.

Kim Donghwan, Director General of the Financial Consumer Bureau at the Financial Services Commission, stated, “For youth policy, it is important to directly listen to the voices of young people, who are the policy’s target group, and reflect them in the policy.” He explained to the 2030 Advisory Group that the Financial Services Commission is currently pursuing youth financial policy in three directions: financial support, asset building, and enhancement of financial capabilities.

The 2030 Advisory Group expressed agreement with the direction of youth financial policy for 2026, while emphasizing the need for active support for the young generation, who are facing complex challenges.

Regarding the policies being promoted by the Financial Services Commission, the group also mentioned the need to improve the convenience of subscribing to the Youth Future Savings product upon its launch, as well as the necessity of creating synergy by linking it with other products. They also suggested that “financial counseling for all” should be operated with a mid- to long-term perspective to improve young people’s financial behaviors.

An official from the Financial Services Commission stated, “We will review the improvement suggestions made today during policy implementation and provide feedback to the 2030 Advisory Group to strengthen youth participation in policymaking.”
