[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Min-young] Hana Bank announced on the 7th that it will make a special contribution to support small business owners in the Asan area who are experiencing difficulties due to the novel coronavirus infection (Wuhan Pneumonia), in cooperation with Asan City, Chungnam, and the Chungnam Credit Guarantee Foundation.

Under this agreement, the Chungnam Credit Guarantee Foundation will provide a customized special guarantee of 2.4 billion KRW, and small business owners in the Asan area will be able to receive loan support through Hana Bank.

Hana Bank explained that it decided on this special contribution to alleviate the difficulties of small business owners facing anxiety over the regional economic downturn caused by the sharp contraction of consumer sentiment in Asan City. On the same day, Hana Bank donated 10,000 protective masks to the city.

A Hana Bank official said, “In a situation where the nation is facing difficulties due to the novel coronavirus, we decided to provide support to Asan City, which has shown an inclusive spirit in supporting Chinese evacuees from Wuhan, hoping to be of even a little help.” He added, “We will continue to make ongoing efforts to revitalize the local economy.”

This agreement was held in the morning at the city disaster and safety countermeasures headquarters near the Police Human Resources Development Institute in Chosadong, Asan, Chungnam, where Chinese evacuees from Wuhan are temporarily housed.
