As the possibility of increasing the stage of social distancing due to the third corona epidemic19 increases, the government is considering suspending consumer coupons. The government’s decision draws attention as the opinion that the quarantine should be stopped and the argument that the difficulties of the self-employed should be considered together. Connect with reporters. Reporter Shin Yoon-jung! Did the government initiate a review to suspend consumer coupons? Yes it is. We are considering a plan to stop the eight major consumer coupons that the government is running to save the national economy. A government official said that if the distance goes up to the second stage, the quarantine authorities, the Ministry of Strategy and Finance, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, which are the agencies in charge of making comply with coupons, they will go through a review process of whether the consumer coupon policy continues. This can be interpreted in the sense of the continuation of the consumption coupon in the current state of the distancing step 1.5 and a revision in the second step. Regarding consumer coupons, the argument that it should be stopped at the quarantine level since it can be an opportunity to increase the movement and contact of people inside and outside the government, If the spread of Corona 19 can be controlled to a certain level, the argument runs that the difficulties of the self-employed and small business owners must also be considered. It is known that the quarantine authorities informally conveyed the opinion that the suspension is valid to the Ministry of Economy. However, there is an opinion that the Ministry of Economy does not have to stop consumer coupons in the middle of the second stage, which is divided into five stages. The second stage of distancing involves banning gatherings of more than 100 people and gatherings as entertainment facilities, and only allowing packing and delivery from restaurants after 9 p.m. For example, in the case of a coupon to go out to dinner, it is enough to use it before 9 pm, but it is excessive to stop using it. The damage to small business owners and freelancers in the face-to-face services industry such as food and lodging should be considered severe, and the view that the increase in the number of confirmed corona patients19 can be controlled within a certain level. Additionally, plans are also being discussed to limit the use of coupons such as accommodation and travel, or to increase the expiration date from late this year to early next. As the economy began to recover with a GDP growth rate of 1.9% in the third quarter, government concerns about consumer coupons, a key measure to revitalize domestic demand, are deepening.
