Vice Chairman Kwon Dae-young of the Financial Services Commission presided over the kickoff meeting of the taskforce on expanding the availability of youth finance consulting services with officials from related organizations and industry groups on February 10. At today's meeting, the taskforce discussed plans to expand the provision of finance consulting services tailored for the needs of young adults by increasing the number of bank branches offering such services to more than 200 within this year from the current level of 20 bank branches and to start making youth-oriented finance consulting and education programs available from the branches of securities firms and insurance companies. To assist young adults with improving their financial literacy and accumulating assets, Vice Chairman Kwon urged financial companies to provide and promote more youth-oriented financial support programs.
