[Asia Economy Reporter Song Hwajeong] The Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) announced on the 13th that it conducted a 'Support Activity for Small Business Owners and Families with Disabled Children' in collaboration with KB Kookmin Bank and Shinhan Bank to help neighbors going through difficult times amid challenging economic conditions.

On this day, the FSS delivered support funds (110 million KRW) prepared together with KB Kookmin Bank and Shinhan Bank to Good Neighbors, a global child rights specialized non-governmental organization (NGO), and held a meeting to listen to the difficulties faced by small business owners. Using the support funds, heating supplies and daily necessities purchased from about 50 small business establishments will be delivered to approximately 500 families with disabled children.

At the support fund delivery ceremony, Lee Bokhyun, Governor of the Financial Supervisory Service, said, "I hope that the items needed by families with disabled children will be well delivered during the cold weather, helping the children to have a healthy and warm winter, and that this will serve as an opportunity for the financial sector to pay attention to marginalized groups. I also hope this activity will provide a small hope and support to small business owners who have been steadfastly enduring difficult business environments such as high prices and high interest rates following COVID-19."
