Lee Praises Park Honggeun's "Economic Recovery Momentum" Post
"Sincerely Appreciate Your Excellent Work"

President Lee Jae-myung stated on October 3, "The urgent task was to normalize an economy that had been experiencing negative growth in order to address basic livelihoods. Economic normalization is now achieving significant results."

On this day, President Lee made these remarks while sharing a post on X (formerly Twitter) from Minister of Planning and Budget Park Hong-geun, titled "The Economy Continues Its Recovery." Minister Park explained that the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has raised its growth forecast for South Korea this year by 1.1 percentage points to 3.7%, which is the largest adjustment among G20 nations.

President Lee commended, "Minister Park and all public officials at the Ministry of Planning and Budget are doing an excellent job," adding, "Thanks to the wholehearted efforts of our public officials, the country is being rapidly normalized." He further stated, "As a representative of the people, I sincerely thank all public officials for their dedication and service to the nation and its citizens."
