Financial authorities "Doesn't discuss martial law notes at F4 meeting"

When it was reported that President Yoon Suk Yeol's note instructions were discussed at the macroeconomic and financial issues meeting, the so-called F4 meeting, held on the day of the emergency martial law, the participants in the meeting denied it altogether.

The Bank of Korea, the Financial Services Commission, and the Financial Supervisory Service jointly distributed the data today (8th).

A day ago, some media reported that President Yoon's implementation of martial law-related notes was discussed at the F4 meeting held shortly after the declaration of the emergency martial law on December 3 last year, drawing a line that it was completely different from the truth.

The note was received by then Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs Choi Sang-mok from President Yoon at a Cabinet meeting just before martial law, and it is known that instructions such as securing a reserve fund related to martial law were written.

The F4 meeting was attended by Choi Sang-mok, then Deputy Prime Minister, Bank of Korea Governor Lee Chang-yong, Financial Services Commission Chairman Kim Byung-hwan, and Financial Supervisory Service Chairman Lee Bok-hyun.

Other than acting president Choi Sang-mok, the other participants said in the data that they discussed emergency stabilization measures against currency market instability and whether to open stocks the next day as the won-dollar exchange rate soared due to the declaration of emergency rules.
