However, due to the overlap with the government's distribution of consumption coupons and the special discount on Onnuri gift certificates, the issuance has been postponed to November.
Additionally, as the government has included district-level local currencies in the scope of national funding support, the discount rate will be increased from the existing 10% to 18%.
