On the 29th, during the 'National Briefing and Press Conference' held at the Yongsan Presidential Office, President Yoon said, "Domestic consumption recovery is slower compared to exports," and added, "I ask our large corporations to actively cooperate by purchasing Onnuri gift certificates this Chuseok holiday to help promote mutual growth and stimulate domestic demand."

Furthermore, President Yoon stated, "We will revitalize the domestic economy to provide practical support to small business owners and self-employed individuals," and announced, "We will actively promote traditional market consumption stimulation, expansion of Onnuri gift certificate issuance, and discount events for the Donghaeng Festival, as announced in the Chuseok livelihood safety measures the day before."

He also promised support for small business owners and the self-employed. President Yoon said, "Since the COVID-19 pandemic, small business owners and self-employed individuals have continued to face difficulties due to high interest rates and sluggish domestic demand," and added, "We will smoothly implement measures to extend the repayment period for policy fund loans and convert high-interest loans above 7% to a lower interest rate of 4.5%."
