The Jeollanam-do Provincial Council’s Special Committee on Budget and Accounts reviewed and approved the original draft of the 2025 second supplementary budget proposal submitted by Jeollanam-do at the 392nd extraordinary session on July 28, 2025.

The scale of this supplementary budget is 13.6951 trillion won, which is an increase of 605.6 billion won compared to the original budget.

The committee focused its review on revitalizing the local economy and supporting the livelihoods of residents amid challenging economic conditions, such as high inflation and high interest rates.

In particular, the committee thoroughly examined the validity and execution plans of major projects directly related to residents’ lives and strongly urged the executive branch to ensure prompt implementation without any setbacks.

This supplementary budget includes several measures aimed at stabilizing livelihoods and stimulating consumption to revitalize the stagnant local economy: 512.1 billion won for livelihood recovery consumption coupons, 78.5 billion won to support the issuance of local love gift certificates, 7.8 billion won for customized local industry job creation, and 7.8 billion won to improve the supply structure of dried seaweed processing facilities.

Additionally, to strengthen disaster safety infrastructure, the budget includes 8.6 billion won for disaster risk area maintenance, 4.1 billion won for the repair and maintenance of national and local levees, 4.1 billion won for temporary support for the distribution of life jackets, and 5.4 billion won for drainage improvement projects.

Committee members unanimously emphasized the necessity of a prevention-oriented budget allocation to reduce recurring disaster damages.

Committee Chair Ryu Gijun stated, "This supplementary budget will serve as a priming water to breathe new life into residents’ livelihoods and the local economy," and added, "We will thoroughly ensure that the projects reflected in this supplementary budget are implemented quickly and efficiently through close communication with the executive branch so that they can be integrated into residents’ daily lives as soon as possible."

Meanwhile, the supplementary budget proposal reviewed by the committee was finalized at the plenary session on the same day.
