The Korea Economic Association announced on the 19th that it sent a cooperation letter to its member companies, requesting them to proceed with year-end and New Year gatherings as planned to stimulate domestic demand and help small business owners overcome difficulties.


Along with holding year-end and New Year events and gatherings, the Korea Economic Association requested cooperation on ▲encouraging employees to use remaining annual leave ▲pre-purchasing supplies and consumables ▲early contracting and advance payment of deposits for events ▲early payment of delivery fees to partner companies.



Lee Sang-ho, Head of the Economic and Industrial Division at the Korea Economic Association, said, "Small business owners are facing difficulties due to political uncertainty and event cancellations," adding, "This is a time when active cooperation from companies is needed to overcome sluggish domestic demand and resolve the management difficulties of small business owners."
