[Asia Economy Reporter Kwangho Lee] BNK Busan Bank announced on the 12th that it conducted a 'Rose Sharing Event' to support the local flower market, which has been struggling due to the cancellation of various events such as graduation and entrance ceremonies caused by COVID-19.

Busan Bank purchased 30,000 roses from 109 vendors at major local flower markets including Jayu Market, Jungang Market, Yangjeong Market, and Eomgung Market.

The purchased roses were distributed to 142 branches in the Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongnam regions, and one rose was given to each visiting customer.

Last year, Busan Bank also purchased 32,000 roses from local flower markets and held a sharing event.

Kim Yong-gyu, Head of Marketing Promotion Department at Busan Bank, said, "We prepared the rose sharing event again this year following last year to provide some help to local floriculture farmers and small business owners who are struggling due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic. We will continue to discover various projects that support self-employed people as a regional bank."
