FSC Chairman Eun Sung-soo met with the heads of five financial holding groups on August 10 and held talks on creating quality jobs for young adults in financial sectors, managing household debt levels and maintaining COVID-19 financial support. At the meeting, Chairman Eun discussed the importance of creating quality jobs in financial sectors as rapid transition to a digital economy can lead to diminishing employment opportunities in financial sectors. In this regard, Chairman Eun noted that the growth of fintechs has led to the creation of many quality jobs that are desirable for young adults. On the issue of COVID-19 financial support, Chairman Eun emphasized the importance of maintaining a right balance between continuing to make support available and preemptively managing risks, such as household debt.
