Gov't and ruling party agree to include cash handouts for all in extra budget plan

A planned second supplementary budget will offer cash handouts to all citizens.

This was announced following a meeting between government officials and ruling party members earlier on this Wednesday morning.

The relief package also includes additional assistance to low-income and vulnerable groups.

Accordingly the size of this extra budget plan is projected to hit over 20 trillion won or some 14-point-5 billion U.S. dollars which is higher than this year's FIRST supplementary budget that amounted to 13-point-8 trillion won.
