[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Saeyan] On the 8th, Haman-gun, Gyeongnam Province announced an emergency support plan during the Lunar New Year holiday to revitalize the local economy, which has been depressed due to the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) crisis.

County Governor Jo Geun-je revealed a local economic stimulus plan centered on investing a total of 7.2 billion KRW, including universal Haman-type disaster relief funds, selective disaster relief funds, and reductions in public charges such as usage fees, through the emergency plan announcement.

The county will provide 100,000 KRW in Haman Love Gift Certificates to all residents regardless of age, income, or property. Cultural artists will receive 500,000 KRW per person, totaling 43 million KRW, and tourism businesses will be supported with 1 million KRW per establishment, totaling 9 million KRW.

Corporate taxi and charter bus workers will receive 1 million KRW per person, totaling 221 million KRW. Households that underwent quarantine under the Infectious Disease Control and Prevention Act will be supported with a total of 46 million KRW in living expenses through a national and provincial matching project.

Additionally, to ease the burden of farming expenses for farmers, 24 million KRW will be waived for agricultural machinery rental fees. Good landlords and small to medium-sized corporations and individual business owners will receive a total reduction of 153 million KRW in property tax and resident tax, and small business owners and SMEs will have a total of 200,000 KRW waived in national and public property lease fees.

Governor Jo said, "Although the emergency support measures announced today may be somewhat insufficient to completely resolve the practical difficulties faced by the residents, we will continue to prepare and actively implement independent emergency support plans in areas where blind spots occur, and do our best to revitalize the local economy."
