[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hamyang-gun, Gyeongnam Province, was selected as the "Best Institution" in the "Ministry of the Interior and Safety 2020 Second Half Local Finance Rapid Execution Performance Evaluation" among 243 local governments nationwide, receiving a special grant of 80 million KRW and an institutional commendation from the Minister of the Interior and Safety.

This selection as the best institution is a great achievement following the first half of 2020's best institution award, resulting from the county's administrative efforts focused on stabilizing the people's livelihood economy and revitalizing the local economy amid the national disaster situation caused by COVID-19.

The local finance rapid execution evaluation is conducted by combining three evaluation indicators: ▲achievement of rapid execution targets ▲quarterly consumption and investment execution performance ▲job project execution performance.

Amid the national crisis of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), the county has made efforts to prioritize budget execution for practical economic revitalization such as stimulating the local economy and creating jobs.

In particular, County Governor Seo emphasized at weekly executive meetings the importance of thorough rapid execution focusing on projects with significant ripple effects on the low-income economy and domestic demand. The rapid execution promotion team, led by the deputy governor, coordinated with each working group to concentrate administrative efforts on improving the execution rate, achieving these results.

This year, despite the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and difficult economic conditions, the county is promoting rapid execution with increased intensity and speed from the beginning of the year, aiming to execute 180.2 billion KRW in the first half to restore the sharply contracted livelihood and boost the local economy.

Governor Seo said, "We have been honored to be selected as the best local government as a result of everyone's best efforts to overcome the local economic crisis," and added, "This year as well, we will do our best to revitalize the stagnant local economy and ensure the safety of people's livelihoods through rapid execution."
