[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bo-kyung] Korea Western Power is implementing emergency management fund support for small business owners and partner small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the Taean area, which have been affected by the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), to ease their financial burden.


Since 2017, Western Power has been conducting the 'Win-Win Growth Cooperation Loan Project' in partnership with IBK Industrial Bank of Korea, and the 'Didimdol Financial Project' with Shinhan Bank and SGI Seoul Guarantee. Through these initiatives, it has supported financing costs for about 210 companies, including small business owners and partner SMEs located in Taean-gun.


The newly launched 'COVID-19 Response Financial Support Project' was promoted to share the increasing hardships caused by the prolonged domestic economic downturn due to COVID-19.


In particular, by compensating part of the loan interest costs for small business owners in tourism and food service sectors who have lost work amid sluggish domestic demand, as well as partner SMEs, it is expected to help improve the management environment of small enterprises.


Companies wishing to apply can refer to the announcement on Western Power's external website starting from the 26th and apply via the responsible person's email. Administrative procedures will be minimized to ensure timely and sufficient support. Western Power plans to support up to 90% of interest costs, with a maximum of 3 million KRW, for about 100 companies through this project.



A Western Power official stated, "We hope this project can alleviate some of the difficulties faced by small business owners and SMEs," and added, "Going forward, Western Power will continue to discover and implement support measures to revitalize economic activities that have been contracted due to COVID-19."
