Deputy Prime Minister Hong Nam-ki and Minister of Strategy and Finance announced that they are considering a plan to pay the fourth disaster support fund to small businesses with sales exceeding 400 million won.
On the 16th, Deputy Prime Minister Hong, who attended the report on the National Assembly’s Planning and Finance Committee, responded to the question of the Democratic Party’s Rep. Jeong Il-young: “We are looking into ways to include them.”
When it comes to cases where there are 5-6 or more workers and whether to add street vendors or platform workers to the support target, he said, “I will carefully examine how far the blind spot will be covered.”
He said, “We are intensively reviewing plans to provide additional support to the victims of the damage, and we are working with the goal of submitting the first supplementary budget to the National Assembly in early March.”
Regarding the size of the supplementary administration, he said, “Because it is being reviewed, it would not be appropriate to say,” and when asked if it could exceed 30 trillion won, he drew a line saying, “The media seems to have a lot of speculation.”
Rep. Choo Gyeong-ho’s question on the national disaster support fund said, “I see it as a matter to be considered taking into account all the quarantine, economic, economic recovery, and financial situation.” “My personal opinion is that giving subsidies to all the people should be cautious. “I will.”
Regarding the issue of extending the maturity of loans for small business owners and self-employed persons, he said, “If the quarantine problem is not clearly controlled, we should review it to alleviate such difficulties.”
