President Moon to chair emergency economic council to discuss extra budget plan
문 대통령, 오늘 비상경제회의 개최... 3차추경 논의
President Moon Jae-in will chair a session of the emergency economic council this afternoon to discuss the government's proposed third extra budget that'll be used to tackle COVID-19.
His chairing of today's meeting he's first in over a month is likely to highlight the need for another supplementary budget amid the economic crisis,... and to fine tune the specifics of the so-called Korea New Deal.
Another topic is South Korea's economic policy direction for the second half of 2020.
The government will likely submit the budget bill to the National Assembly for deliberation later this week.
