The Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI), a Seoul-initiated international green growth body, has improved its budget transparency and remains committed to achieving its goal, the body's new director-general said Friday. In late 2012, South Korea's state auditor said in a report that GGGI was found to have misused its budget and recommended the organization make efforts to boost transparency in its spending. The 21-member entity was launched that year to promote sustainable economic growth.
