This means that, within just two weeks since the payment began on July 21, nine out of ten county residents have received the consumption coupon. As a result, according to Gyeongnam Province's statistical data, Changnyeong County recorded the second-highest payment rate among counties in the province, following Geochang County.

The county attributed its achievement of a payment rate exceeding 90% in a relatively short period to proactive promotion activities such as on-site application visits, registration, and guidance for residents, as well as field-oriented administration.

Going forward, the county plans to further strengthen on-site application and registration, especially for basic livelihood security recipients and those in the lower-income bracket, with the goal of completing coupon payments to all eligible recipients within August. In addition, through meetings with village leaders, various organizations, and institutions, the county will also survey the preferred payment methods for the second round of payments (scheduled from September 22 to October 31), aiming to implement a tailored payment system centered on residents' convenience.

County Governor Sung Nakin stated, "We hope that the payment of the Livelihood Recovery Consumption Coupon will serve as a catalyst for boosting consumption amid difficult economic conditions." He added, "Although we have achieved a payment rate exceeding 90% by July, we will do our utmost to ensure that all county residents receive their coupons as soon as possible."
