[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Amid the National Assembly's dispute over the supplementary budget (supplementary budget) bill, President Moon Jae-in once again urged the swift passage of the supplementary budget bill.

President Moon said at a morning staff meeting on the 18th, "Since the situation of small business owners and self-employed people is urgent, I ask the National Assembly to actively cooperate in resolving the difficulties of people's livelihoods by processing the supplementary budget bill as soon as possible," White House spokesperson Park Kyung-mi conveyed.

As the passage of the supplementary budget bill stalls due to disagreements between the ruling and opposition parties, Yoon Ho-jung, floor leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, hinted at 'ruling party's sole passage' on the morning of the same day.
