"Based on last year's experience, we have prepared measures aimed at easing dollar demand and volatility in the foreign exchange market," Kim said. "A predictable and stable foreign exchange rate is also advantageous to us," he said, adding that cooperation with foreign exchange authorities would be based on achieving good investment returns. With the fund expected to be depleted by 2055, his top priority is to provide support for the government's plan to reform the national pension system, he said.
