Gwangju Buk-gu to Operate 'Visiting Financial Counseling Room' Until October

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yukbong] Buk-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (District Mayor Moon In) announced on the 25th that it will operate a 'Visiting Financial Counseling Office' to enhance the financial capabilities of residents facing difficulties in financial life.

Earlier in February, Buk-gu conducted a survey related to support for low-income finance targeting 500 small business owners and residents, and 68.6% of respondents said they were willing to use the visiting financial counseling office.

Accordingly, until October, financial counseling services will be provided with contents such as ▲credit recovery and debt adjustment including personal rehabilitation, bankruptcy, and discharge ▲household financial diagnosis and planning ▲consultation on illegal private loans to ensure that no residents miss out on low-income financial support programs due to lack of awareness.

Counseling will be conducted by a financial welfare counselor visiting a community service center or a desired location near the resident's residence upon prior application to the Buk-gu Office's Livelihood Economy Division.

Buk-gu plans to actively support the economic recovery of vulnerable groups by proposing financial support systems and relief measures suitable for the current situation through counseling, and by linking with related organizations such as the Buk Gwangju Low-Income Financial Integrated Support Center.

District Mayor Moon In said, “We will continue to spare no support for stabilizing the household economy and economic independence of residents in the blind spots of financial welfare.”
