The government has decided to invest 9.3 trillion won, more than three times the size of the initial discussion, to support the damage caused by the third corona19 spread.
In particular, a maximum of KRW 3 million in subsidies will be provided to 2.8 million small business owners who are struggling with reinforcing distance from the next month.
Reporter Seo Yoo-jeong will give you more details.

This measure focused on supporting small business owners and the underprivileged classes who were hit by the corona spread.
We provide 3 million won for 11’group prohibited’ businesses such as academies, indoor sports facilities, and singing practice, and 2 million KRW for 11’restricted group’ businesses such as restaurants and cafes.
In addition, general industries with annual sales of 400 million won or less, whose sales have decreased due to Corona 19, can receive a support fund of 1 million won.
For the underprivileged class, special types of workers such as assistant drivers and learning branch teachers and freelance jobs are supported from 500,000 won to 1 million won, and taxi drivers up to 1 million won.
The government has announced that 2.8 million small business owners and 870,000 people from underprivileged classes will receive support for this measure.

“We have prepared a direct and immediate damage support plan so that small business owners and the underprivileged can endure the Gobi Valley well. It is based on cash support, but with loans for rent, etc…”
In addition, small business owners who have suffered damage due to the collective restrictions will be given loans at a minimum interest rate of 1.9%, and the tax deduction rate for so-called good renters, which reduces rents, will also increase from 50% to 70%.
We are investing 2.6 trillion won to support the rehabilitation of small and medium-sized businesses and small business owners and support for job security.
In this way, the budget prepared to support the third spread of damage was 9,3 trillion won.
Self-employed people appeal that it will be helpful, but considering the damage in the past, it is not enough.

“It won’t help, but in fact, it’s a very small amount in terms of operating loss per month from our standpoint.”
The government plans to complete the payment of subsidies to 90% of the recipients from January 11th next year until Lunar New Year in order to expedite support.
