Finance Minister Kim Dong-yeon has pledged to take swift and immediate measures against any unexpected movements in the market.
 
The minister made the vow on Monday during a meeting with Bank of Korea Governor Lee Ju-yeol and chiefs of other economy-related agencies.
 
Kim said in the meeting that North Korea’s sixth nuclear test and possible fresh provocations could produce negative repercussions in the local market, adding that the North Korean issue may not only have a short-term impact on the financial and foreign exchange markets, but on the real economy as a whole.
 
The participants all agreed that they will take swift and immediate market-stabilizing measures if any unusual movements are detected.
