By Na Jeong-ju


Financial Services Commission (FSC) Chairman Shin Je-yoon vowed Thursday to ease regulations for financial firms "drastically."

He said the commission will come up with a package of deregulation measures for the financial market by July, without commenting on the details.

"Innovation and competitiveness are key words in fixing the regulatory framework for financial firms," Shin said during a meeting with the chairmen of six major financial groups and heads of state-run financing institutions. "We won't just reduce the number of regulations. What matters is that the firms should feel the changes."

Some FSC officials said the measures will focus on enhancing profitability of all financial segments — banks, and insurance, brokerage and asset management firms — and spurring their global expansion.

"We will take a zero-based approach to remove all unnecessary regulations and lower the entry barriers for the capital markets, private equity funds, mergers and acquisitions, stock listing, as well as derivatives trading," an FSC official said, asking not to be named. "We will also focus on rooting out unfair and irregular business practices that were evident in the recent consumer data-leakage cases."

The comments came after President Park Geun-hye called for a government-wide deregulation drive, calling regulations a "mass of cancer cells."

"Our economic innovation project cannot succeed without removing regulations. This is to make our economy healthy," Park said during a meeting with senior presidential secretaries, Wednesday. "I believe deregulation will ultimately create more jobs and make this country richer."

Shin said he will strengthen communication with financial firms to reflect their opinions in mapping out policies.

"The roles of Korean financial firms have been largely limited to serving exporters and the manufacturing sector although they have huge growth potential," he said. "The government is now taking steps to nurture the financial industry into one of the next economic growth engines. The industry itself should change as well."

The FSC said Shin arranged the meeting with the financial CEOs to share his ideas on how to enhance the competitiveness of the sector.

Participants included Financial Supervisory Service Governor Choi Soo-hyun and the chairmen of Woori, Shinhan, KB, Hana, NH and KDB groups.

Commenting on the data leaks from financial firms, Shin said the industry is now facing its "worst crisis" since the 1997-98 Asian financial crisis.

"This is not a financial crisis. This is a crisis of trust," Shin said. "The data-theft cases showed the industry still has a long way to go. I want to tell you this one thing: Financial firms cannot exist without public trust."


금융당국 '숨은 규제 모두 걷어낸다'

금융위원회는 13일 금융권 간담회에서 법률상 규제뿐만 아니라 '금융현장의 숨은 규제'도 찾아 개선하기로 했다.

'금융현장의 숨은 규제'는 금융회사에 대한 지침·지도(전화지도)·규제와 함께 금융공기업 등의 내규 등도 포함한다.

이에 따라 금감원의 행정지도, 실무해석·의견, 해설서·매뉴얼 등과 협회 주관으로 만든 모범규준, 가이드라인, 업무처리방안 등에 대한 개선도 추진된다.

금융공기업 등의 내규와 관련해서는 자체 인사·보수 규정 등 내부행정 사항이 아닌 이용자와의 업무처리 과정에서 필요한 모든 규정과 업무처리지침, 세부세칙 등이 검토 대상이 된다.

공적인 금융서비스를 제공하고 있으면서 규제개혁위원회와 같은 제3의 기관의 점검을 받지 않는 금융공기업·증권유관기관·공공적 성격의 기관이 대상이다.

금융당국은 이를 위해 기관별로 외부 전문가·이해관계자 등이 참여하는 자체 태스크포스(TF)를 구성해 기관장 책임하에 숨은 규제 개선 작업을 추진할 계획이다.

TF를 상시로 운영해 사전에 신설·변경 규제의 타당성을 검토하기로 했다.

특히, 모든 규제나 업무처리 절차 및 업무 방법상 이용자에게 영향을 미치는 사항에 대한 리스트를 만들어 이를 제로베이스에서 검토한다는 계획이다.

이를 통해 규제·불편사항의 10%를 폐지·완화·합리화 등 개선하기로 했다.

아울러 민원 분석과 이용자 대상 조사를 통해 현장에서 체감할 수 있는 규제도 개선하고 불편도 해소해 나갈 계획이다.

민원 분석은 기관별 과거 3년간 민원을 모두 조사하고, 유형별로 정리해 개선할 사항을 적극적으로 발굴하기로 했다.

특히 금감원은 '검사보고서'를 분석해 지적·유의·개선사항 등을 유형화함으로써 개선 과제를 발굴할 예정이다.

?금융회사나 해당 기관 이용자에 대한 현황 파악이나 설문조사 등을 통해서도 실질적으로 제도 개선이 필요한 부분을 파악하기로 했다.

금융당국은 기관별로 이달 중 TF를 구성해 '금융현장 숨은 규제' 목록을 만들기로 했다. 4~5월 중에는 민원 분석과 이용자 대상 조사를 하고, 기관별 목록 정비 방안을 마련할 계획이다.

이를 통해 6월에는 종합 개선 방안을 마련한다는 방침이다.
