Promotion of Traditional Market Use and Encouragement of Merchants

County Governor Gu In-mo is conducting a price stabilization publicity campaign.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] On the 6th, Geochang County in Gyeongnam held a price stabilization campaign at Geochang Traditional Market ahead of the Korean traditional holiday Chuseok.

On this day, about 20 members of the merchants' association, along with Geochang County Governor Goo In-mo, participated in the campaign, visiting stores selling peak-season holiday products to promote price stabilization and encourage market merchants who are struggling due to the resurgence of COVID-19 and rising prices.

The county has designated a special price stabilization period (August 21 to September 9) and formed an inspection team to focus on monitoring the price trends of 16 key Chuseok holiday products, compliance with origin labeling, and cracking down on unfair trade practices such as hoarding.

Governor Goo said, “We will do our best to establish trustworthy commerce,” and added, “We ask all county residents to participate in using the warm and welcoming traditional market during the Chuseok holiday to contribute to revitalizing the local economy.”
