이인영 통일부장관후보자 오늘 인사청문회,... 국회 대정부질문 둘째 날, 경제분야 질의

South Korea's National Assembly is scheduled to hold its confirmation hearing for unification minister nominee Lee In-young in a few hours from now.
The nominee's qualifications as well as his position on national security will be probed during the session,... with the replacement coming at a testing time for inter-Korean ties.
Lee had earlier proposed small-scale trade, or bartering between the two Koreas as a way to break the impasse.
Also at the assembly, lawmakers will continue their grilling of government officials on the topic of the economy.
Lawmakers are set to target the administration's failed attempts to cool the overheated property market, as well as its revision to the country's tax code, announced on Wednesday.
