The Ministry of Economy and Finance's Best Proactive Administration of the Year is the 'Mask 5-Day Rotation System'... Outstanding Departments are 'Geosijeongchaek Division and Environment Energy Taxation Division'

[Asia Economy Reporter Joo Sang-don] The Ministry of Economy and Finance's best proactive administration case of the year was selected as the 'Mask 5-day Rotation System and Other Mask Supply Stabilization Measures.' The outstanding departments were the Macroeconomic Policy Division of the Economic Policy Bureau and the Environmental Energy Taxation Division of the Taxation Office.

On the 28th, the Ministry of Economy and Finance announced the selection of the '2020 Ministry of Economy and Finance Best Proactive Administration Cases' and stated that Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy and Finance Hong Nam-ki awarded the outstanding cases at the expanded executive meeting.

This award ceremony was organized to commend the achievements of outstanding proactive public officials and departments that contributed to the spread of proactive administration throughout the year and to widely share the results of proactive administration efforts. As a result of the evaluation, the grand prize was awarded to the case of implementing the mask supply stabilization measures, including the Mask 5-day Rotation System, which ranked first. The Mask 5-day Rotation System was part of the 'Mask Supply Stabilization Measures' announced on March 5 this year. Due to the mask shortage crisis caused by the spread of COVID-19, this measure allowed the purchase of public masks only on designated days according to the last digit of the birth year at designated places such as pharmacies.

The excellence awards went to the preparation of a win-win agreement through the Han-georeum model (2nd place) and the rapid introduction of tax support and establishment of a corporate liquidity support organization (tied for 3rd place). Those responsible for the grand prize and excellence award cases will receive incentives such as Deputy Prime Minister commendations, trophies, the highest performance evaluation grade (S grade), and special leave (5 days).

For the first time this year, the outstanding proactive administration departments selected were the Macroeconomic Policy Division of the Economic Policy Bureau and the Environmental Energy Taxation Division of the Taxation Office, which received trophies and prize money.

Deputy Prime Minister Hong said, "The awardees did their best with a proactive attitude in their duties despite the severe crisis conditions such as the economic recession caused by COVID-19 in 2020," and added, "Next year will be a crucial year to determine whether our economy can leap from recession to a global advanced economy. Please do not relax your efforts until the end to overcome the current crisis and seize the opportunity for a new leap forward."
