- Protecting: Protect jobs and low-skilled workers, such as through job security measures and local economy-boosting initiatives
- Preserving: Preserve economic resilience, such as through measures to boost consumption and exports, help suppliers and COVID-19-hit industries, as well as through monetary policies
- Preparing: Prepare for a post COVID-19 economy, in particular through the Korean New Deal and industrial restructuring
MOEF will share the report with international organizations, foreign governments and foreign press, and cooperate for the world to get through the pandemic.
