Keeping up to speed with the local economy,... President Moon Jae-in is due to meet with the owners of some local SMEs and venture firms.
Officials say the goal of Monday's meeting at the top office is to hold candid discussions so the president and his administration can sharpen efforts or even tweak policies to boost a South Korean economy that remains mired in a rut of slow growth.
President Moon has opened 2019 with a strong focus on fixing the economy.
He's already held a New Year's event at the Korea Federation of the SMEs for the first time, and his chief policy aide has been meeting with executives from local conglomerates.
