Gyeongnam Provincial Council Budget and Accounts Special Committee Approves Gyeongnam Province's 1st Supplementary Budget Proposal

On the 18th, the Gyeongnam Provincial Council conducted a comprehensive review of the 2023 Gyeongsangnam-do 1st supplementary budget proposal during the 1st meeting of the Budget and Accounts Special Committee under the jurisdiction of the provincial government at the 403rd extraordinary session, and approved the original proposal.

The Budget and Accounts Special Committee of the Gyeongnam Provincial Council conducted a comprehensive review of the first supplementary budget proposal of Gyeongsangnam-do and approved the original plan.

This year, the scale of Gyeongnam-do's 1st supplementary budget proposal increased by 83.4 billion KRW (0.7%) from the originally approved budget, totaling 12.1841 trillion KRW. Most of the increased budget in this supplementary proposal reflects pre-enactment budgets that occurred after the initial budget formulation and the costs for the expansion and reconstruction of the assembly building to facilitate the prompt construction of the council building.

On this day, the Budget and Accounts Special Committee members conducted an in-depth review based on the preliminary examination results from the relevant standing committees, focusing on whether the valuable resources were allocated appropriately and the adequacy of the pre-enactment budget formulation, ultimately approving the original proposal after the comprehensive review.

Chairman Kwon Won-man stated, “Since this supplementary budget includes many disaster-related projects closely connected to residents' daily lives, such as drought, cold waves, and pine wilt disease control, I hope that it will be executed swiftly and effectively in accordance with its purpose and intent.”

The Gyeongsangnam-do 1st supplementary budget proposal will be finally approved at the 2nd plenary session of the 403rd extraordinary session on the 20th.
