Province to frontload \80b before Chuseok
‘Effort to make sure all islanders are able to enjoy holidays’

With the aim of stimulating the local economy before the Chuseok holidays, the provincial government will release funding earlier than originally planned - a process known as frontloading.

More than 80 billion won will be injected into the economy. It includes 42.3 billion won set aside for for road-widening and disaster repair, 16.5 billion won for social welfare, and 10 billion won for promoting farming and fishing villages.

The provincial office began releasing the funds Tuesday, and it will continue through next Friday. They are being directed to local businesses that are financially unable to pay the overdue wages they owe their employees. Officials say they hope that by doing so, those workers will be able to enjoy and properly celebrate the upcoming holidays.
