The Ministry of the Interior and Safety selected 32 local governments nationwide as outstanding local governments. Yangju City received an excellent rating in this evaluation, being recognized for its efforts in developing diverse policies and revitalizing the operation of local gift certificates in 2025.

The secured national funding will be used for consumption promotion projects aimed at revitalizing the local economy at the end of the year.

Starting November 20, the city will offer an additional 5% rebate on payments, in addition to the existing 10% incentive provided upon recharge.

The aim of this year-end, temporary additional benefit is to help restore consumer sentiment and boost local small business districts.

A city official stated, “Being selected as an outstanding local government is the result of active citizen participation,” adding, “We will continue to develop policies to strengthen the competitiveness of local businesses and alleviate household burdens.”
