[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Gimhae City in Gyeongnam announced on the 16th that the operational policy for the second half of the year regarding the Gimhae Sarang Gift Certificate will be changed.


The main changes include the issuance time of the Gimhae Sarang Gift Certificate, which was previously issued once at 10 a.m. on the first weekday of every month, now being issued twice a day at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., and the purchase discount limit per person being adjusted from 300,000 KRW to 200,000 KRW per month.


This change aims to alleviate the early sell-out of the gift certificates, which were sold out in less than an hour recently, and to allow more Gimhae citizens to purchase the certificates.


Additionally, the amount of gift certificates issued, which was previously 6 billion KRW, will be increased to a minimum of 8 billion KRW and a maximum of 10 billion KRW starting from July.


While the previous issuance scale allowed at least 20,000 citizens to purchase, the second half of the year will see an increase to over 50,000 citizens per month.



Mayor Heo Seong-gon stated, “From the second half of the year, we expect that more citizens will be able to purchase the Gimhae Sarang Gift Certificate due to the expanded issuance scale and the lowered discount purchase limit,” and added, “We will continue to do our best so that more local small business owners and citizens can benefit from the gift certificates.”
