Finance Minister Koo Yun-cheol said on Wednesday that the government will take 'decisive action' if excessive volatility hits the foreign exchange market, as the Korean won continues to weaken against the U.S. dollar. The rapid decline of the won has led the Ministry of Economy and Finance, the Bank of Korea, the National Pension Service, and the Ministry of Health and Welfare to form a joint consultation body. The group aims to create a 'new framework' balancing pension returns with FX stability.
