Korean finance minister Hyun Oh-seok has expressed concerns... over the recent weakening of the
Japanese yen. Hyun's remarks came on Thursday after the
government's first meeting of the new year. He said... the government will continue to
support small- and medium-sized businesses in 2014... so that they can weather the impact
of currency fluctuations. The finance chief added... that the government
remains reserved about raising tax rates,... saying he would rather reduce existing tax
breaks. Hyun also emphasized that next year's economic
policies will focus on boosting domestic demand... so that ordinary people can feel the benefits
of the nation's economic growth.
