1st meeting between FSC, FSS chiefs
Financial Services Commission (FSC) Chairman Koh Seung-beom, right, and Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) Governor Jeong Eun-bo shake hands at the government complex in central Seoul, Thursday. The two discussed measures to enhance cooperation to tackle soaring household debt and other financial risks during their first meeting after Koh, a former Bank of Korea official, officially began his term, Aug. 31. The FSC is an administrative agency responsible for establishing financial policies and technically oversees the FSS which implements such policies. Yonhap
