Presiding over the State Council Meeting, "Establishing the Foundation for a Great Transformation is a Historic Mission"... "The Time for Gradual Recovery of Daily Life Cannot Be Delayed Like Time"

[Asia Economy Reporter Ryu Jeong-min] President Moon Jae-in emphasized on the 28th that "As the damages to small business owners and self-employed individuals accumulate, leaving them with no more capacity to endure, we cannot indefinitely delay the time for phased daily recovery."

On the morning of the same day, President Moon presided over a Cabinet meeting at the Blue House and said, "I once again extend my condolences to those working in face-to-face service industries such as small business owners and self-employed individuals who are facing increasing difficulties due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic."

President Moon stated that while there have been achievements in economic responses such as COVID-19 management and employment recovery, the economy has yet to feel the warmth spreading through it.

President Moon pledged, "We will carefully prepare the support targets and scope according to the Loss Compensation Act, which will be enforced from October 8, and provide support promptly."

Furthermore, President Moon explained, "The government must concentrate all its capabilities to quickly curb the spread of COVID-19, manage the situation within our quarantine and medical system, and accelerate the vaccination pace to further increase the vaccination rate. That is the path toward daily recovery."

President Moon also stated, "The government will take the national fate seriously and make it a historic mission to firmly establish the foundation for a great transformation during our government's term," adding, "We regard fulfilling our role until the end of the term as an unavoidable destiny of our government and will approach state affairs with a heavy sense of responsibility."
