The chief of South Korea's central bank will attend a meeting of central bank heads from around the world in Switzerland this week to exchange views on global economic and financial market conditions, the Bank of Korea said Thursday.
  

BOK Gov. Lee Ju-yeol will depart for Basel, Switzerland on Friday for the two-day Bimonthly Meeting of the Bank for International Settlements that will be held from Sunday, according to the bank.
  

"During the two-day meeting, Gov. Lee and central bank governors of other BIS member countries will exchange their views on recent conditions in the global economy and global financial system," it said in a press release.
  

BIS currently has 60 member nations, including Japan, China and the United States.
  

The two-day gathering will consist of the global economy meeting, where central bank governors of only 30 advanced and emerging market countries, including Korea, will be present, and the all governors' meeting that will include all present members of the BIS. (Yonhap)
