South Korea Announces Financial Aid for Small Businesses

The government of South Korea has arranged financial help for small businesses battling because of huge interest rates, President Yoon Suk Yeol added on Wednesday, as it changed up its estimate during the current year's financial development.

"Small businesses are still in difficult conditions. Amid persistently high interest rates, their interest burden has increased, while wage and rent costs are also rising," Yoon said in a speech ahead of the government's bi-annual economic policy announcement due later on Wednesday.

The government has prepared a total of 25 trillion won ($18 billion) worth of support measures, Yoon said. South Korea's central bank extended its policy pause for an 11th straight meeting in May, keeping rates at a 15-year high, as it reiterated its warning on inflationary risks.
