About 900,000 small business owners receive 2.2 trillion won, an average of 2.44 million won per person.
The target is small business owners whose sales decreased due to the ban on gatherings and restrictions on business hours from October to December of last year.
This time, compensation is extended to companies that have imposed restrictions on the number of facilities, and 150,000 people have been added, including accommodation facilities, beauty businesses, and wedding venues.
The lower limit for loss compensation is increased from 100,000 won in the previous quarter, and the minimum amount is 500,000 won and the maximum is 100 million won.
In addition, the compensation ratio, which is the ratio of compensation to loss, has been raised from 80% to 90%.

Beer prices going up again?
<Reporter>
OB is raising its price for the first time in six years, and from the 8th, it has decided to raise the factory price by an average of 7.7%.
Canned beer is raised by 3-5% and bottled beer by 9%. 500ml bottled beer, which used to be 1,147 won, costs 1,250 won, which is more than 100 won.
The rise in beer prices is due to the rise in raw material and subsidiary material prices, and the international barley price surged 33% in the three years from 2019 to last year, before the corona.

Aluminum prices jumped 45% last year compared to the previous year.

Soju prices go up, beer prices go up, and so on.
However, one thing I am curious about is whether the liquor companies are doing business at a loss.
I wonder how much money these companies have made so far, and if they can afford these things with the money they earned, are they passing it on to consumers?
