Gijang County in Busan Named Outstanding Institution in First Half Fiscal Execution Promotion Evaluation

Recognized for Proactive Measures in Prompt Fiscal Execution
Supporting the Recovery of the Stagnant Local Economy

Gijang County (County Governor Jung Jongbok) has been recognized as an outstanding institution in the "2025 First Half Fiscal Execution Promotion Evaluation" organized by the city of Busan.

This evaluation was established to identify and reward institutions that have contributed to prompt fiscal execution, thereby enhancing the efficiency of local fiscal management and supporting the recovery of the local economy and revitalization of livelihoods.

In the first half of this year, Gijang County executed 231.3 billion won out of the 410.5 billion won subject to prompt execution, achieving an execution rate of 56.35% and earning recognition as an award-winning institution.

This figure represents a 5.18 percentage point increase compared to the execution rate of 51.17% in the first half of the previous year, demonstrating that the county's efforts to improve fiscal execution performance have been acknowledged externally.

The county attributed this achievement to its focused administrative efforts on prompt fiscal execution to revitalize the stagnant local economy, emphasizing that the active engagement of all employees played a crucial role.

Gijang County operated a "Prompt Execution Task Force" led by the Deputy County Governor, conducting weekly and monthly checks on budget execution status by department, intensive monitoring of earmarked and carryover budgets,

intensive management of large-scale investment projects exceeding 1 billion won, frequent reporting sessions, and awarding incentives to outstanding departments, all in an effort to increase the execution rate. Additionally, the county actively utilized prompt execution guidelines to ensure both efficiency and systematic management.

For the second half of the year, the county plans to continue its strategic fiscal management focused on projects with significant economic impact, actively promoting the revitalization of the local economy.

County Governor Jung Jongbok stated, "As continued inflation and economic stagnation are expected to pose challenges to the local economy in the second half of the year, we will actively support the stability of residents' livelihoods and the recovery of the local economy through prompt and transparent fiscal execution."
