The county had to cope with budget cuts due to a decrease in local allocation tax caused by two consecutive years of national tax deficits, but through efforts secured 238.6 billion KRW in national and provincial subsidies, which is 9 billion KRW more than this year.

In particular, the increase in tax revenue from new apartment move-ins in the Oryong district also contributed to the budget increase. Next year's budget plan will focus on expanding customized welfare services for residents, investing in community-based facilities for resident safety, fostering smart agriculture, fisheries, and livestock industries to strengthen future competitiveness and increase income, investing in sports facilities, and building tourism infrastructure.

Major projects include flood and wind disaster living area maintenance, expansion of sports facilities in Namak New Town, development of Doripo as a tourist scenic spot, support for new and renewable energy convergence, Matteul Muan integrated food platform project, revitalization of fishing villages, creation of advanced agricultural complex, support for senior citizen jobs and social activities, and issuance and operation of local currency.

County Governor Kim San stated, “Despite the financial crisis caused by the decrease in local allocation tax, we have worked hard to stabilize people's livelihoods and recover the local economy through selective and focused budgeting,” and added, “We will also do our best to secure national and provincial funds for large-scale facility investment projects.”
