On the 18th, Gyeonggi Credit Guarantee Foundation announced that Chairman Si-seok Jung delivered a plaque of appreciation to Mayor Dong-hwan Lee at Goyang City Hall for being selected as the ‘Outstanding City/County in Contribution Performance of Gyeonggi Credit Guarantee Foundation in 2023.’
Goyang City contributed 2.7 billion KRW in 2021, 3.38 billion KRW in 2022, and 5.5 billion KRW last year to support special guarantees for small and medium-sized enterprises and small business owners suffering from an unprecedented complex economic crisis.

Before the plaque presentation ceremony, Gyeonggi Credit Guarantee Foundation held a business agreement ceremony for special guarantee support between the Foundation and Goyang City to strengthen the growth foundation for young small business owners in Goyang City.
This business agreement was promoted at the request of Goyang City to help young small business owners, the future generation leaders, overcome the crisis and strengthen their competitiveness. Goyang City contributed 300 million KRW to the Foundation, and the Foundation will provide special guarantees worth 3 billion KRW, which is ten times the contribution amount.
The support targets are young small business owners (aged 19 to 39) who have been in business for more than two months and have business locations in Goyang, with a maximum of 50 million KRW per company.
