[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jonghyo] Busan Bank is conducting a unique event to revitalize the local flower market, which is struggling due to the impact of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

The local flower market is facing difficulties as flower consumption has shrunk due to the cancellation of various events such as graduation and entrance ceremonies caused by COVID-19.

Busan Bank announced on the 14th that it will hold an event where customers visiting its branches in the Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongnam regions will receive a single rose each.

For this sharing event, Busan Bank purchased about 32,000 roses from 106 businesses in the region's representative flower markets: Jayu Market, Jungang Market, Yangjeong Market, and Eomgung Market.

The purchased roses will be distributed to 150 Busan Bank branches and provided to customers who visit on the event day.

A Busan Bank official said, "We planned this event to offer some help to local small business owners and flower farmers who are experiencing sales slumps due to the impact of the novel coronavirus," adding, "We will continue to discover various projects that support the local economy as a regional bank."
