Imsil-gun Public Officials Bring 'Relief' to Local Economy by Purchasing Local Gift Certificates

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Nosik] It has been revealed that public officials in Imsil-gun, Jeonbuk, played a crucial role in supporting the stagnant local economy by purchasing 162 million won worth of local gift certificates ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday.

According to Imsil-gun on the 15th, from the 4th to the 9th, the amount of Imsil Sarang Gift Certificates purchased by public officials affiliated with the county was 92 million won. Adding the 70 million won purchased by the Imsil-gun Public Officials Labor Union, the total amounted to 162 million won.

During this period, about 370 public officials belonging to the county office voluntarily participated in purchasing gift certificates and actively used them in traditional markets and local marts before the holiday.

Previously, the Imsil-gun Public Officials Union also purchased gift certificates worth 70 million won using union members' savings fees and distributed gift certificates worth 110,000 won each to 650 public officials, providing significant help to small business owners struggling due to COVID-19 and other difficulties.

County Governor Sim Min said, “The enthusiasm of public officials and residents in purchasing gift certificates led to higher sales than expected, which must have supported traditional markets and small business owners. We will make further efforts to prevent the outflow of capital from the region and establish a circulating economy through active promotion of gift certificates.”
