Markets Must Thrive for Communities to Prosper! ... BNK Financial Leads Revitalization of Local Traditional Markets and Fisheries

BNK Financial Group has taken the initiative, along with its executives and employees, to promote the charm of local traditional markets and the fisheries industry, and to encourage citizens to visit and utilize these areas.

On the morning of the 15th, BNK Chairman Bindaein and Busan Bank President Bang Seongbin, along with about 40 group executives and employees, visited Busan Jagalchi Market and held a luncheon event.

This event was organized to help revitalize the traditional markets and fisheries industry in the Bu-Ul-Gyeong region, which have been struggling on the front lines due to the local economic downturn and domestic and international issues, and to support regional economic revitalization through market activation.

Chairman Bin and the employees purchased market goods with pre-prepared traditional market gift certificates and had meals while delivering messages of support to local merchants.

Before the luncheon event, BNK Busan Bank donated 30 million KRW to the Busan Jagalchi Cultural Tourism Festival Committee to support the successful hosting of the ‘Busan Jagalchi Festival,’ which will be held for four days from October 5 to 8.

BNK plans to hold luncheon events in Ulsan and Changwon later this month to support the revitalization of local traditional markets and the fisheries industry.

BNK will also carry out the ‘OK Susu (Corn) Day’ and ‘Traditional Market Win-Win Campaign’ to further support the revitalization of local traditional markets and the fisheries industry.

‘OK Susu (Corn) Day’ is a campaign started in September that encourages participation in local seafood consumption by expanding seafood menu options in the group’s corporate cafeterias every Wednesday and recommending nearby seafood restaurants to each affiliate’s branch offices.

Additionally, through the ‘Traditional Market Win-Win Campaign,’ group employees (grade 3 and above) who purchase part of their salary in traditional market gift certificates will receive additional gift certificates to encourage the use of traditional markets.

BNK Financial Chairman Bindaein said, “We prepared this event hoping to provide a small help to the traditional markets and fisheries industry, which are the main actors of the local economy. BNK will continue to strive to invigorate the local community through various support activities.”
