On the 9th, President Lee Jae-myung convened the second meeting of the Emergency Economic Inspection Task Force (TF), calling for urgent and practical measures to address the continued burden of inflation on the Korean public.

"Increasing prices are placing too much pain on our people," President Lee stated firmly during the session. "We must swiftly grasp the current situation and actively pursue all possible countermeasures."

The President stressed that government response must be accelerated and empowered, noting that in future meetings, key working-level officials such as deputy ministers, bureau directors, and division heads should attend to ensure that decisions are made quickly and executed without delay.

“This is not the time for formality. What matters is effectiveness and speed,” Lee emphasized, signaling that the government will continue to monitor inflation trends closely and take a multi-agency approach to minimizing economic hardship for citizens.

The Emergency Economic TF is part of the administration’s broader efforts to maintain price stability, protect livelihoods, and respond proactively to domestic and global economic challenges.
