The IMF team led by Tarhan Feyzioglu is set to meet officials of the Ministry of Economy and Finance, the Fair Trade Commission, the Ministry of Employment and Labor, the Bank of Korea and the Financial Services Commission, as well as other private South Korean companies, from Wednesday to March 11.
Feyzioglu, IMF's Korea mission chief, is set to give a briefing in Seoul on March 12 after wrapping up the official visit to Asia's fourth-largest economy.
The Ministry of Economy and Finance said South Korea's economy could grow about 2.6 to 2.7 percent in 2019 amid a slowing global economy and U.S.-China trade disputes.
In January, the BOK said South Korea's economy could expand 2.6 percent in 2019, in line with IMF's 2019 growth projection of 2.6 percent. In 2018, the country's economy grew 2.7 percent. (Yonhap)
