[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Min-young] The Korea Federation of Banks, together with the Council of Commercial Banks, represented the banking sector to hold the 'Flower Consumption Promotion Campaign' on the 12th at the Korea Flower Farmers Cooperative in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province, donating about 100,000 flower pots.

This event was organized to support flower farmers who are facing many difficulties due to the cancellation of various events such as graduation and entrance ceremonies caused by the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19). The flowers donated by the banking sector will be delivered to social welfare facilities and small business owners nationwide through the Korea Flower Producers Association.

Kim Tae-young, Chairman of the Korea Federation of Banks, said, "The banking sector is carrying out various social contribution projects to overcome COVID-19, and we hope that participation in this campaign will help the depressed flower farming community."

On the same day, the Korea Federation of Banks also held an event distributing roses to employees of tenant companies at the Bankers Hall in Jung-gu, Seoul, during commuting hours.
