Finance Minister Kim Dong-yeon says the government will focus its policy capabilities on job creation and income distribution. 

The minister made the vow on Monday during a meeting with chiefs of economy-related ministries in Seoul, noting that job conditions and income distribution have worsened. 

Kim also pledged a thorough implementation of the support measures for low-income households and small businesses announced in July and August. 

The minister's remarks came a day after presidential chief of staff for policy Jang Ha-sung reaffirmed his commitment to the government's "income-led growth" policy. Jang vowed to more boldly push economic policies for income-led growth, innovation-driven growth and a fair economy in the latter half of this year.
