The government recently diagnosed that the mutation of Omicron, which is spreading around the world, could be a factor of short-term anxiety in the financial market.
At the macroeconomic finance meeting held on the morning of the 29th, 1st Vice Minister of Strategy and Finance Lee Won Lee predicted that “until a clear analysis of the spread of the omicron mutant virus and risks is revealed, volatility will increase in domestic and overseas financial markets.”
However, he cautioned against excessive concerns, judging that the financial market has improved its ability to cushion the impact of COVID-19.
The government plans to operate a 24-hour monitoring system while closely examining the impact of the Omicron mutant virus on domestic and foreign financial markets.
