G20 committee to go under Finance Ministry

The government is placing the Presidential Committee for the G20 Summit into the Finance ministry as a task force during February to coordinate follow-ups of agendas with France, the G20 chair for this year.

“The G20 preparation body was created to organize the G20 Seoul summit last year and we are readying to move them to the Finance Ministry,” the government said.

The committee will be comprised of three to four groups handling G20 agenda items including financial reform, development issues and the international monetary system.
