Changwon City Extends 'Nubijeon Special Discount' Until July Due to COVID-19

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Choi Hyun-joo] Changwon City in Gyeongnam announced on the 30th that it will issue an additional 21 billion won worth of Nubi-jeon, which is issued to support small business owners and revitalize the local economy, and extend the 10% discount sale until the end of July.

The city issued 10 billion won worth of Nubi-jeon last year and 79 billion won in the first half of this year. Due to the 10% special discount and expansion of affiliated stores to overcome the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) and promote consumption, the 79 billion won worth of Nubi-jeon was sold out, leading to the decision to issue additional amounts.

In addition, by simultaneously applying for Nubi-jeon affiliated stores when applying for emergency management stabilization funds for small business owners in May, an additional 21,000 locations were secured. Currently, there are about 45,000 paper-affiliated Nubi-jeon stores and about 34,000 mobile affiliated stores.

Heo Seong-mu, mayor of Changwon City, said, “Nubi-jeon, which is greatly loved by citizens, is expected to help resolve the management difficulties of small business owners caused by COVID-19 and revitalize the Changwon economy.”
