The Daegu Metropolitan Council approved a 406.5 billion won supplementary budget to support economic recovery, future growth industries, and citizen safety. This funding includes financial support for small and medium-sized enterprises, the establishment of a ‘Future New Growth Fund’ by 2030, and investments in an AI innovation hub. Additionally, the budget allocates resources for emergency medical safety nets and infertility treatment support.

Following this, the city utilized supplementary funds to expand subsidies for 1,691 eco-friendly vehicles, including electric passenger cars and hydrogen passenger cars. This move aims to address challenges in the transition to green mobility, as the city currently faces shortages in hydrogen charging infrastructure and relies heavily on compressed natural gas buses.
