Juyeol Lee: New Year speech

New Year's address by Mr Juyeol Lee, Governor of the Bank of Korea, at the Bank of Korea, Seoul, 2 January 2017.

The views expressed in this speech are those of the speaker and not the view of the BIS.

Dear fellow members of the Bank of Korea,

Today is our first day of work in 2017, and I would like to begin by expressing my sincere appreciation to all of you, for so faithfully carrying out your duties last year. At the opening ceremony for each new year, we always resolve to show renewed spirits of determination, but this year I think even more extraordinary resolutions are called for than in the past.
