[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Go Dallyoung] Jinangun (Governor Jeon Chunsung) is making all-out efforts from budget allocation to execution and securing resources to revitalize the local economy frozen by COVID-19.


According to the county, it announced that it has prepared the first supplementary budget bill, which includes providing disaster basic income of 200,000 won each to all residents separately from the government disaster relief funds for residents suffering from difficulties due to COVID-19, and it was finalized after approval by the council on the 26th.


The related funds minimized the financial burden by utilizing about 1 billion won in budget savings from the council and the executive branch and about 4 billion won in disaster contingency funds.


Following the first quarter, in the second quarter as well, the county plans to swiftly execute the budget focusing on projects that have a significant ripple effect on the low-income economy and domestic demand to recover the stagnant local economy.


Previously, Jinangun achieved first place in the province in the first quarter's rapid budget execution performance, supporting the struggling local economy through active budget execution.


In the second quarter, a rapid budget execution TF team led by Deputy Governor Na Haesu has been newly formed to intensively inspect the promotion tasks by department and by the 11 towns and townships in Jinangun, share problems, and seek solutions.


In addition, full efforts are being made to secure special grants to smoothly promote administrative demands of residents, regional development, and pending projects.


Currently, each department is discovering target projects such as the installation of elevators for the disabled at Jinaneup Office and the demolition of old slate roofs, and for the applied projects, a thorough prior verification process is being conducted to actively respond so that necessary and urgent projects for residents can be smoothly promoted.



Jeon Chunsung, Governor of Jinangun, said, “Although consumption is greatly shrinking due to worsening domestic and international economies and COVID-19, we will do our utmost to revitalize the local economy based on active and efficient financial management so that residents can engage in their livelihoods with peace of mind and carry out unwavering county administration.”
