[Asia Economy Reporter Jo In-kyung] The government's "Emergency Disaster Relief Fund" usage period will end on the 31st of this month. The distributed government emergency disaster relief funds can be used until August 31, and any unused funds will be returned to the national and local governments.


Previously, the government set the usage period until August 31 to ensure that the distributed emergency disaster relief funds would contribute to revitalizing the local economy through rapid consumption.



Ko Gyu-chang, Director of the Local Finance and Economy Division at the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, stated, "We understand that the emergency disaster relief funds distributed in various ways have been actively used in local areas," and urged, "We ask the public to pay attention so that any remaining emergency disaster relief funds can be consumed as much as possible within the deadline."
