SEOUL, April 6 (Yonhap) -- The confirmation hearing for Shin Hyun-song, the nominee for South Korea's central bank governor, will be held next week, officials said Monday.
The National Assembly's Finance, Economy, Planning and Budget Committee will hold Shin's confirmation hearing on April 15, according to the officials.
Shin, who had been serving as head of the Monetary and Economic Department at the Bank for International Settlements, was nominated by President Lee Jae Myung last month to lead the Bank of Korea, replacing incumbent Gov. Rhee Chang-yong, whose four-year term ends later this month.
His appointment requires a parliamentary confirmation hearing but does not require endorsement by the National Assembly.
