Kang Yoo-jung, the Blue House chief spokesperson, said President Lee Jae-myung approved Shin Hyun-song’s nomination as governor of the Bank of Korea on April 20.
The appointment will take effect on April 21.
Earlier the same day, the National Assembly’s Committee on Finance and Economy held a full session and, by bipartisan agreement, adopted its confirmation hearing report on the nominee. That action came five days after the hearing on April 15.
Shin was born in 1959 in Daegu. He studied political economy and philosophy at the University of Oxford and earned both his master’s and doctoral degrees in economics there. He later served as head of the Monetary and Economics Department at the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), as a resident scholar at the International Monetary Fund (IMF), as a member of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s Financial Advisory Council, and as a professor of economics at Princeton University. During the Lee Myung-bak administration, he served as the Blue House’s senior advisor on international economic affairs.
