BNK Gyeongnam Bank announced on September 12 that it has donated 100 million won in traditional market gift certificates to the city of Changwon ahead of the Chuseok holiday.
The donation ceremony, held the previous day at Changwon City Hall, was attended by Kim Tae-han, president of BNK Gyeongnam Bank, and Changwon Mayor Kang Ki-yoon. The gift certificates will be distributed to 2,000 vulnerable households recommended by the city, to assist with holiday preparations.
BNK Gyeongnam Bank explained that by providing traditional market gift certificates instead of cash, it aims to support the livelihoods of vulnerable groups while also promoting the use of traditional markets and boosting local consumption. Kim Tae-han stated, "I hope the traditional market gift certificates will help vulnerable households prepare for the holiday and stimulate the local economy."
Additionally, BNK Gyeongnam Bank has prepared a total of 381 million won in traditional market gift certificates for its Chuseok Love Sharing project this year. The certificates will be provided to 7,620 vulnerable households recommended by 18 cities and counties in Gyeongnam, including Changwon.
