IMF Asia and Pacific director to lead Bank of Korea
국제통화기금(IMF) 아시아·태평양담당 국장, 한국은행 이끌 예정


By Lee Min-hyung

President Moon Jae-in nominated Rhee Chang-yong, director of the Asia and Pacific department at the International Monetary Fund (IMF), as the new governor of the Bank of Korea (BOK), the presidential office said Wednesday.
수요일 대통령실은 문재인 대통령이 차기 한국은행 총재 후보로 이창용 국제통화기금(IMF) 아시아·태평양담당 국장을 지명했다고 전했다.


Rhee will replace outgoing BOK Governor Lee Ju-yeol, whose term ends on March 31. But a leadership vacuum at the central bank appears inevitable, since Rhee will be able to take office only after a National Assembly confirmation hearing.
이 후보자는 3월 31일 임기가 만료해 퇴임하는 이주열 한국은행 총재를 대신할 예정이다. 하지만 이 후보자는 국회 청문절차 이후 취임할 수 있기 때문에 중앙은행의 지도자 부재는 불가피할 전망이다.


The governor nominee had been frequently mentioned as the next BOK chief due to his broad range of experience at major international institutions. Rhee taught economics at Seoul National University and was vice chairman of the Financial Services Commission before becoming a senior economist at the Asian Development Bank.
이 총재 지명자는 주요 국제 기구에서의 폭넓은 경험 때문에 차기 한국은행 총재로 자주 거론되었다. 이 총재는 서울대학교에서 경제학을 가르쳤고 아시아개발은행 ADB 수석 이코노미스트가 되기 전 금융위원회 부위원장이었다.


He made headlines in February 2014 after being nominated to the ranking position at the IMF.
이 후보자는 2014년 2월에는 IMF 고위직에 임명되어 언론의 헤드라인을 장식했다.


Rhee is widely expected to map out balanced monetary policies if he takes office as the next BOK leader, according to economists.
경제학자들에 의하면 이 후보자가 차기 한국은행 총재로 취임할 경우 균형잡힌 통화정책을 계획할 것으로 널리 기대된다.


"Given his previous career at the international monetary organization, it is premature to say whether he will display a hawkish or dovish stance," said Kim Jin-ill, professor of economics at Korea University. "It is hard for us to make predictions for the time being, so we need to wait and see."
김진일 고려대 경제학과 교수는 "국제통화기구에서의 (이 후보자의) 이전 이력을 놓고 보면 이 후보자가 강경파와 온건파 중 어떤 태도를 보일지 말하기는 이르다"고 말했다. "현상황에서는 예측하기 어렵기 때문에 우리는 지켜봐야 한다."

KEY WORDS
■ monetary 통화의
■ nominate 지명하다
■ take office 취임하다
■ map out 계획하다
■ balanced 균형 잡힌
■ hawkish 강경파의
■ dovish 온건파의
