[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Sehee] The government will announce the specific criteria and usage locations for the National Support Fund on the 30th. Additionally, it is accelerating preparations to disburse the funds before Chuseok.

On the 29th, a government official stated, "We plan to announce detailed information about the National Support Fund and the card cashback program on the 30th," adding, "We are refining policies to align with the goal of revitalizing small business owners and local markets."

The government intends to start distributing the National Support Fund before Chuseok and aims to disburse 90% of the funds by the end of next month.

Besides this, measures to stabilize livelihoods ahead of Chuseok will also be implemented.

Next month, the use of non-face-to-face and online dining discount coupons will resume. The dining coupons provide discounts for food orders through delivery apps; if a customer orders food worth 20,000 won or more three times, they will receive a 10,000 won refund on the fourth order.

To stimulate consumption during the Chuseok holiday, a discount event for agricultural, livestock, and marine products will be held. From the 1st to the 22nd of next month, 20% discount coupons for agricultural, livestock, and marine products will be issued with a limit of 20,000 won per person.

At 44 traditional markets, when purchasing agricultural, livestock, and marine products, 30% of the purchase amount will be refunded in Onnuri gift certificates, with a weekly limit of 20,000 won per person.

Post Office Shopping will hold a Chuseok gift fair, offering discounts of up to 40% or more on all products, and special sales of seasonal products will be conducted at Nonghyup and Hanaro Mart special sales venues.

Online sales channels will be provided for traditional markets and small business owners.

A dedicated small business owners' exhibition will be opened on internet shopping malls to encourage price discounts of up to 40%, and a special online exhibition for traditional markets involving about 350 markets will be held.

The discount rate for Onnuri gift certificates usable at traditional markets will be temporarily increased from the current 5% to 10%, and the monthly purchase limit for mobile gift certificates will be expanded from 500,000 won to 1,000,000 won per individual.
