Gyeonggi-do's 'Baedal Teukgeup' Cumulative Transaction Amount Surpasses 40 Billion Won

Plan to Expand to a Total of 30 Cities and Counties This Year

[Asia Economy Reporter La Young-cheol] Gyeonggi Province's subsidiary, Gyeonggi Province Corporation, announced on the 28th that the cumulative transaction amount of Baedal Teukgeup exceeded 40 billion KRW as of July 27.

According to the province, it recorded 10 billion KRW within three months after its launch on December 1 last year, surpassed 20 billion KRW in May this year, 30 billion KRW in June, and exceeded 40 billion KRW within a month thereafter.

The province analyzed that the increase in transaction amount was mainly due to consumer benefits specialized for local governments through community-based projects and steady discounts linked to local currency.

Since July, Baedal Teukgeup has started a pilot project for reusable containers in Dongtan, Hwaseong City, Gyeonggi Province, aiming to reduce the use of disposable products.

Currently, Baedal Teukgeup offers services in 22 local governments in Gyeonggi Province and plans to expand its coverage to a total of 30 cities and counties this year.
