Kwon Aeri's friendly economy starts. Reporter Kwon, emergency disaster funding. If you include the vulnerable group you received first, it has already been released on the market for 3 weeks, but I think you have already received a lot.

<Reporter>

Yes. I think most people who are watching the news have received it. On the 4th, cash payments to the 2.8 million households of the vulnerable were started first, and since last week, credit cards and check cards have been applied.

According to the payments made by this Wednesday, 18.2 million households out of 21.7 million households eligible for emergency disaster aid have completed receiving the grants. 84.3% of the total.

In terms of money, 11,440 billion won out of the 14,240 billion won of disaster relief fund budget has been released on the market so far.

After today (22th), if it comes to the total number of this week, at least 90% of the entire population will have received it. Almost all citizens, except those who choose to donate, will receive a minimum of 400,000 won per household, up to 1 million won per household.

Isn't it really a lot of money for 11 trillion won? It is said that this amount of money is released on the market, and consumption can be alive.

<Reporter>

Yes. One statistic showed that card sales of self-employed businesses nationwide recovered to the level last year in the past week, when payments for disaster relief began in earnest.

This is the data provided by a company called Korea Credit Data, which analyzes card payment information for more than 550,000 stores among small business owners nationwide.

Based on the data compiled by the company, this is the first time since February 23, when the Corona 19 crisis alert was upgraded to a serious stage.

By region, in particular, Gyeonggi-do and places like Gyeongnam, Busan, and Sejong, which are not listed in this table, exceeded sales levels in the second week of May last year.

Daegu, which was hit hardest by Corona 19, is close to last year's level, as most regions see.

The small and medium-sized venture business department's small business sales, which are being counted every week these days, are still not in a good mood.

As for the information, the lowest point was calculated as of April 6th. Since then, the decline in sales of small business owners has gradually decreased over the past six weeks.

Several factors appear to be complex. First of all, we are one of the most everyday society in the world.

Activities have increased significantly since the holiday in early May. From May 6th, the first Wednesday of this month, it has been converted into life prevention.

At the same time, disaster aid payments began to be paid, and it is not only cash, but also receiving points and coupons that must be consumed anywhere.

In addition, there are idol bomb coupons distributed to children's homes from the previous year to the age of 7, and games that showed the fastest recovering consumption in the data you saw earlier, as well as local government subsidies that were released by various local governments. You can see that the money that was released first is being used on the market.

It's

good news while listening to <anchor> , but where do you use it a lot?

<Reporter>

Yes. In the future, a more accurate count will come out over time, but let's look at some of them first. First of all, people who buy meat at convenience stores have exploded.

Imported meat from one convenience store chain increased by more than 700% compared to the same period last year.

The number of single-person households is increasing, so the number of people who shop only at the convenience store is increasing.

It is said that there were not many people who turned to the "Let's buy some meat and eat some delicious and healthy ones" at a convenience store in front of the house where you can use it because you can't use the subsidy in a hypermarket.

In addition, although it seems to be suitable for sipping at home alone, compared to alcoholic beverages such as shochu, convenience store wine, which is usually inexpensive, sold well.

In pharmacies, it is said that it is noticeable that older people buy nutritional supplements that they could not pick up.

It can be said that after a long time, the people came out and brought money into their pockets, so they could take care of their health, pick up what they wanted to eat, and see these things.

Of course, Corona 19's economic shock will continue. Globally, not only consumption, but also production, trade, trade, transportation and jobs are all serious.

Customized measures must continue to come out efficiently. In particular, the people should not neglect the tensions and rules of life prevention.

But last month's private consumption figures were actually shocking. I was worried that the bend was almost like a cliff, but I was very fond of saying that a little positive figure came out.

It is a situation in which we are cautious of these observations whether the urgent fire that happened like a forest fire in April is turning off.
