Governor Nam: "Launching Sharing-Based Market Economy with 31 Municipal Governments"

Gyeonggi Province Governor Nam Kyung-pil announced his plans to launch a "sharing-based market economy" with all 31 municipal governments this year.

Governor Nam held a New Year's greeting ceremony with mayors and county officials at Gyeonggi Province's Good Morning House on the 26th at 10 a.m., stating, "We will start a new economic model called 'sharing-based market economy' in Gyeonggi Province, combining land, finances, and human resources held by the province and municipal governments with the creativity of private enterprises."

The New Year's greeting ceremony, organized for smooth communication and policy cooperation between the province and municipal governments throughout the year, was attended by approximately 60 people, including heads of all 31 municipal governments, three vice governors, and 34 bureau chiefs.

In areas where mayor positions were vacant, such as Yangju and Guri, and places where heads of government could not attend due to scheduling, such as Seongnam, Ansan, Paju, Pocheon, Hanam, and Gwacheon, deputy heads attended in their place.

Governor Nam personally conducted a presentation on the "sharing-based market economy" to the municipal government heads and requested their active cooperation.

Governor Nam stated, "The sharing-based market economy is an open platform that opens everything and shares collectively," adding, "I aim to provide an open platform, like 'platform shoes' that raise one's height, so that small and medium-sized enterprises, small business owners, and startups in the province can compete with large corporations and advance globally on the uneven playing field created by polarization and social inequality."

Governor Nam's concept of a sharing-based market economy refers to a new economic model that lowers marginal costs such as logistics expenses to nearly zero through public assets including land and budgets held by the government, and opens them to small and medium-sized enterprises, small business owners, and entrepreneurs, allowing them to grow freely.
