Korea's finance minister has called on the leaders of Korea's public and private financial institutions... to support the government's push for structural reforms.
Speaking at a dinner in Seoul on Sunday,... Choi Kyung-hwan said the companies should come up with new value-added services... and create more employment opportunities in the financial sector.
This comes as the number of jobs in the financial sector has been contracting in recent years.
He also pointed out that the financial sector is only making up five percent of the country's GDP,... far short of the government's ten-percent target rate.
