[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Street vendors who were excluded from government support will receive emergency living stabilization funds.

Jinju City announced on the 13th that it will provide 500,000 won in emergency living stabilization funds to street vendors and unregistered tenants in traditional market stores who are in the blind spots of government and local government support.

Jinju City decided to provide 500,000 won in emergency living stabilization funds to most street vendors near traditional markets, street vendors in the city center, and unregistered tenants in traditional market stores who were excluded from the Ministry of SMEs and Startups support last year.

The application period is from the 12th to the 11th of next month, and applicants must be street vendors who have been confirmed to have operated for more than one year as of the announcement date in Jinju City, traditional markets, nearby traditional markets, or city center areas.

Mayor Jo Gyu-il said, “Although suffering from COVID-19, we hope this support for vulnerable groups in the blind spots of government and local government assistance will help revitalize the local economy struggling due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.”
