[JoongAng Ilbo, National, Politics, October 14 2008] President uses radio to try to reassure citizens

In the first of a planned series of radio talks, President Lee Myung-bak yesterday urged the nation’s financial institutions to help rescue competitive companies that are at the brink of bankruptcy due to temporary liquidity problems.

“Trust,” “jobs,” “domestic spending” and “economic patriotism” were some of the key words in his radio address.

The eight-and-a-half minute presidential talk was aired yesterday morning by eight broadcasters, including KBS 1 radio.
