President Kim said, “This year, with the expansion of support budgets such as labor costs and joint business expenses, the conditions for promoting joint businesses of cooperatives have somewhat improved, providing some relief. However, the self-reliance foundation of cooperatives is still insufficient. Going forward, it is necessary to activate voluntary joint business support funds for the growth of cooperatives and SMEs. Through the intensive fundraising in May, we expect active contributions from cooperatives to start, followed by participation from other economic actors such as large corporations.”
