Public officials in Jangseong-gun, Jeollanam-do are participating in revitalizing the local economy by using their personal welfare points to prepare for the Lunar New Year holiday.
According to the county on the 14th, there are a total of 947 public officials, and each is spending 200,000 won of their allocated welfare points within the local area. This amounts to an annual total of approximately 189 million won being spent locally.
A county official stated, "Since small business owners are experiencing severe management difficulties this year, we plan to encourage officials to use their locally allocated welfare points before the Lunar New Year holiday as much as possible."
