Outgoing BOK Governor Rhee Calls for Broader Central Bank Role in Addressing Structural Challenges

Outgoing Bank of Korea Gov. Rhee Chang-yong said achieving economic stability and growth through monetary and fiscal policy alone has become increasingly difficult, calling for a broader central bank role in addressing long-term structural challenges. Speaking at his farewell ceremony in Seoul, Rhee highlighted structural problems including excessive reliance on specific industries and polarization. He urged the BOK to go beyond monetary policy to become the nation's leading think tank on issues like education, housing, balanced regional development, youth employment and elderly poverty. His successor Shin Hyun-song begins his term Tuesday.
