[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Hyung-gil] On the 24th, Yoon Seok-heon, Governor of the Financial Supervisory Service, visited Mangwon World Cup Market in Mapo-gu, Seoul, along with financial companies ahead of the Chuseok holiday.

Governor Yoon visited Mangwon World Cup Market with four financial companies including the Korea Salvation Army, IBK Industrial Bank, Mirae Asset Daewoo, KB Insurance, and Shinhan Card. Using sponsorship funds worth approximately 90 million won prepared by the financial companies, they purchased daily necessities such as rice cakes, fruits, and meat, and distributed traditional market gift certificates to about 40 social welfare organizations.

Governor Yoon said, "Given the difficult domestic and international conditions caused by the novel coronavirus infection, I believe the difficulties faced by traditional markets are especially significant. I hope that the small sincerity prepared by the financial sector will be well delivered to market merchants and neighbors in need."
