[Hwasun=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Ji-woon] On the 26th, Jeonnam Hwasun-gun announced that it is focusing administrative efforts on ‘local finance rapid execution’ to revitalize the local economy, which has been stagnant due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, and to efficiently promote pending projects.

The county plans to execute 261.3 billion KRW of the rapid execution target amount in the first half of the year to revitalize the local economy while preventing budget execution concentration at the end of the year in advance.

To this end, the county formed a ‘Rapid Execution Promotion Team’ led by Deputy County Governor Park Cheol-won at the beginning of this year and has been managing the progress of projects worth over 100 million KRW.

They have continuously shared the execution status of job projects and investment projects that have a significant ripple effect on the local economy and have worked to increase the execution rate.

Various consumption budgets, such as customized welfare expenses, are being executed ahead of schedule to stimulate private consumption, and projects with high public awareness, such as COVID-19 response, are being actively executed.

For rapid execution, they are making full use of the Ministry of the Interior and Safety’s ‘active system for expanding financial execution,’ including ▲temporary expansion of private contracts ▲shortening of emergency bidding periods ▲simplification of administrative procedures.

The county held a rapid execution reporting meeting yesterday to check the progress.

A county official said, “We will do our best to achieve the budget rapid execution goal to invigorate the local economy and stabilize the lives of residents.”
