[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Choi Hyun-joo] Jo, the governor of Haman County, Gyeongnam, emphasized on the 20th at a current issue inspection meeting held in the conference room on the 3rd floor of the county office annex, “We must actively discover projects that can be applied to the region in line with the government’s ‘Korean New Deal Policy.’”


He also referred to the government’s announcement of the ‘Korean New Deal Policy,’ which aims to invest 160 trillion won by 2025 to create 1.9 million new jobs.


The Korean New Deal Policy focuses on building digital infrastructure for new sources of income, fostering non-face-to-face industries, and significantly expanding jobs in response to climate change. The province is moving quickly with creative idea contests to discover Gyeongnam-type Green New Deal projects.


Accordingly, Governor Jo ordered each department to continuously monitor the government’s and province’s New Deal projects and to discover projects applicable to the county that can enhance the competitiveness of local industries, such as smart factories and green energy investments.


He also called for active measures to respond to population decline caused by low birth rates and aging.


Governor Jo pointed out that the biggest causes of population decline are unstable job issues and deepening labor disparities, and cited spreading positive values regarding marriage and family formation, fostering a childbirth encouragement atmosphere, securing jobs and housing to prevent the outflow of young people to large cities, and improving residential conditions through the establishment of stable living infrastructure.



Governor Jo said, “Despite difficult conditions in the first half of the year, all staff actively worked for prompt execution, resulting in a budget execution rate exceeding 100%, achieving the intended results,” and urged, “In the second half, please do your best to promote county government current projects with speed so that the happiness index of the residents can increase.”
