Jeju Province economic support and investment initiatives

Overview

Jeju Province has implemented a series of measures to bolster its regional economy, focusing first on direct financial assistance for vulnerable populations and small businesses. The province expanded its special guarantee for small businesses to 180.55 billion KRW and introduced new programs for low-credit residents, including low-interest stability loans and inclusive savings programs designed to help residents build capital through subsidies.

Following these social safety net expansions, the Jeju Provincial Council has moved to attract corporate investment through legislative amendments. The proposed measures include subsidies for land purchases, facility investments, and employment. However, local lawmakers have raised concerns that these incentives may be insufficient to compete with other regions, suggesting that Jeju must offer superior benefits or focus on developing a comprehensive industrial ecosystem to overcome its geographic limitations.
