SBC began accepting applications for the 2022 SME policy funds starting that day. To distribute traffic on the online application reservation system, applications are processed by dividing schedules according to regions.

Chairman Kim monitored real-time reception and traffic status by region through the policy fund application and reception status board, and requested management and supervision to prevent any inconvenience during the policy fund reception process.

Of the total budget, 3.2 trillion KRW, or 63.2%, will be supplied to the Korean New Deal sector, with a focus on supporting the spread of carbon neutrality and ESG (environment, social, governance) awareness to build a sustainable SME management environment.

Chairman Kim Hak-do said, "SBC plans to promptly support policy funds to achieve results in the Korean New Deal and respond to changes in the SME management environment such as carbon neutrality and ESG. At the same time, we will promote demand-oriented smart finance by operating a paperless digital window and reorganizing support processes using AI and big data to improve accessibility and convenience in using policy funds."
