Finance Minister Choi Sang-mok will convene an emergency meeting with key economic officials Friday to assess market conditions following the Constitutional Court's ruling on the impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol.
In a unanimous verdict, the Constitutional Court removed Yoon from office over his shocking declaration of martial law on Dec. 3, which sparked political turmoil and dealt a blow to the economy.
The meeting will include the heads of the Bank of Korea, the Financial Services Commission and the Financial Supervisory Service, according to the Ministry of Economy and Finance.
Following the meeting, Choi will preside over a separate session with senior finance ministry officials meant to check the situation of the financial and foreign exchange markets, it added. (Yonhbap)
