FSC Chairman Kim Joo-hyun met with startup and venture businesses on April 10 and held talks on ways to more effectively provide financial support to help ease their financing difficulties amid a slowdown in investment activities and liquidity crunch in the startup sector. At the meeting, Chairman Kim said that authorities have been encouraging policy financial institutions such as the Korea Development Bank, the Industrial Bank of Korea, Korea Credit Guarantee Fund and Korea Growth Investment Corporation to assess their startup and venture support programs and to more actively expand the availability of support. After listening to various opinions raised by startups and venture businesses, Chairman Kim said that the FSC will take them into account when drawing up policy support measures together with the Ministry of SMEs and Startups.
