President Moon Jae-in will chair a session of the emergency economic council this afternoon to discuss the government's proposed third extra budget that'll be used to tackle COVID-19.
His chairing of today's meeting he's first in over a month is likely to highlight the need for another supplementary budget amid the economic crisis,... and to fine tune the specifics of the so-called Korea New Deal.
Another topic is South Korea's economic policy direction for the second half of 2020.
