[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Hyun] Haenam-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 14th that from the 7th to the 13th, it held progress report meetings on major projects worth more than 50 million won and decided to accelerate the seamless implementation of county administration tasks in response to COVID-19.

The report meetings were conducted to check the progress status of all projects worth more than 50 million won by each department, identify reasons for delays in underperforming projects, and prepare countermeasures.

In particular, emphasis was placed on the need for public sector investment to lead the way in overcoming the economic recession caused by the spread of COVID-19, and ways to actively promote spending in consumption and investment sectors that have a real impact on the local economy were sought.

Haenam-gun’s projects worth more than 50 million won amount to 1,434 cases totaling 739.5 billion won, accounting for 61% of the current budget, including general and special accounts and fund carryover budgets.

The county is maintaining an emergency financial execution system in response to COVID-19, utilizing contingency funds and disaster management funds for infectious disease prevention, and has prepared supplementary budgets three times, focusing all efforts on revitalizing the local economy, which has been depressed due to weakened consumer sentiment, through active expansion of local finances.

Additionally, it plans to promote rapid execution of 278.7 billion won in the first half of this year by actively utilizing the Ministry of the Interior and Safety’s rapid execution guidelines, advance payment exceptions, and public sector prepayment and pre-purchase policies, and by carrying out administrative procedures such as contract and investment reviews and consultations with central government ministries from the beginning of the year to achieve a 100% target.

Myung Hyun-kwan, the mayor of Haenam-gun, said, “We will thoroughly manage major projects to quickly execute finances as the final purchaser starting from the public sector to contribute to stimulating domestic demand in response to COVID-19,” and added, “Please analyze in detail the status reviewed through the progress reports and strive to add vitality to county administration through rapid project implementation.”
