The increased discount rate will apply equally to both paper and mobile gift certificates. Residents can purchase the certificates at a 12% discount until the allocated budget is exhausted.

The monthly purchase limit per person is 200,000 won for paper certificates and 300,000 won for mobile certificates. The maximum holding limit for mobile gift certificates is 1,500,000 won.

The county expects that this expanded discount will not only enhance tangible benefits for residents but also stimulate local consumption, thereby boosting sales for small businesses in the region.

A county official stated, "We plan to actively use the additional funds to stimulate local consumption and support small businesses," adding, "We will continue to ensure the stable operation of the Hamyang Sarang Gift Certificate so that it provides real benefits to the local economy."
