As the government's supplementary budget plan of 26.2 trillion won passed the Cabinet meeting, Gyeonggi Province has decided to pursue the supplementary budget swiftly and precisely.


On April 1, Acting Governor of Gyeonggi Province Kim Seongjung held an emergency meeting on the supplementary budget at the Gyeonggi Provincial Government Building, attended by Vice Governor for Administrative Affairs Kim Daesoon, department heads, and bureau chiefs. He stated, "Just as the government's speed is important, so is Gyeonggi Province's 'precise response.' We will continue discussions with the provincial council to ensure the proposal is submitted and passed during the April extraordinary session. I ask each department and bureau to collaborate closely."


Accordingly, Gyeonggi Province plans to promptly identify the matching scale and changes in national funding support projects according to the supplementary budget proposals of each government ministry, and respond swiftly to ensure that the administrative procedures to be prepared at the provincial level proceed without any setbacks.

In addition, the province plans to identify its own projects that can fill gaps in national support, thereby providing effective support for residents' livelihoods.


Regarding the surge in construction costs and private sector damages, Gyeonggi Province will analyze reports submitted to the provincial damage reception center and other relevant bodies, and will respond proactively to minimize the economic burden and damage for residents.



After concluding the discussion on the supplementary budget, Acting Governor Kim Seongjung emphasized, "As this is a period when an economic emergency and elections overlap, please do your utmost to maintain discipline among public officials, adhere to election neutrality, and prevent any administrative gaps."
