[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Lee Hong-woo (61), CEO of the nonprofit Labor Welfare Sharing Center, has been appointed as the President of the Gyeonggi-do Market and Commercial District Promotion Agency.

Born in 1959, President Lee has served as the CEO of the Labor Welfare Sharing Center and as a non-executive director of Goyang Urban Management Corporation. Over the next two years, he will lead the Gyeonggi-do Market and Commercial District Promotion Agency, dedicating himself to revitalizing the alleyway economy, which is the capillary and foundation of our economy.

President Lee stated, "We will listen to voices from the field and actively promote various policies and projects to ensure that the alleyway economy overflows with 'fairness,' the core value of the 7th term of the provincial government."

The Gyeonggi Market and Commercial District Promotion Agency, a public institution under Gyeonggi Province established in October last year to revitalize the alleyway economy, is responsible for ▲ operating and supporting local currency ▲ revitalizing traditional markets and alleyway commercial districts ▲ developing and implementing support policies for small business owners.

In particular, to minimize the economic impact of COVID-19, the agency has formed the "Gyeonggi-do COVID-19 Damage Self-Employed Support Headquarters," operates the merchants' voluntary quarantine system called "Gyeonggi Merchants' Militia," and runs a COVID-19 damage small business owner reporting (consultation) center.
