The Gwangju-Jeonnam Regional Office of SMEs and Startups (Acting Director Lee Sunseok) conducted a year-end consumption promotion campaign on the 23rd to support local small business owners struggling due to sluggish domestic demand and consumption.

About 20 representatives from related local organizations and groups, including the Seo-gu District Office, the Small Enterprise and Market Service, the Korea SMEs and Startups Agency, the Gwangju Credit Guarantee Foundation, and the Gwangju Merchants Association, participated in the campaign held at Yangdong Market in Seo-gu, Gwangju.

The event aimed to revitalize the local commercial district, which has been depressed by the recent economic downturn, and to foster a consumption-friendly atmosphere. Participants visited stores in Yangdong Market to purchase daily necessities, agricultural, marine, and livestock products, and held a consumption promotion campaign by having lunch together at a restaurant inside the market.

An official from the Gwangju-Jeonnam Regional Office of SMEs and Startups said, "We hope this campaign will help create a mood for consumption and bring vitality back to the stagnant local commercial district," and added, "Even in these difficult economic times, we ask public institutions, companies, and citizens to actively participate in relay-style consumption promotion campaigns such as year-end parties, so that small business owners, self-employed people, and traditional market merchants, who are the backbone of the local economy, can be supported, even if just a little."
