This award is seen as a result of Pocheon City's systematic and proactive financial management efforts to revitalize the sluggish local economy. The city has continuously enhanced the efficiency of fiscal execution by operating a regular execution monitoring system led by the Deputy Mayor, closely managing the progress of large-scale investment projects, and intensively monitoring projects closely tied to the local economy.

In particular, the city focused its administrative efforts on proactively resolving major obstacles in the execution process, such as expediting administrative procedures and compensation negotiations, to ensure that the budget could be executed in a timely manner for the benefit of residents. Thanks to these efforts, Pocheon City achieved the distinction of being selected as the top institution nationwide in both the "Local Finance Execution Evaluation" and the "Financial Analysis Improvement" categories.

Last year, in the second half, the city continued to hold regular fiscal execution review meetings, minimizing carryovers and unused budgets, thereby maintaining sound financial management. Building on these achievements, Pocheon City plans to continue its proactive and responsible financial operations in 2026.

A Pocheon City official stated, "This top institution commendation is the result of all public officials working together to ensure the smooth implementation of key projects and to keep our promises to citizens," adding, "In 2026, we will continue to do our utmost to ensure that budget execution goes beyond mere performance management and leads to tangible recovery and vitality in the local economy that citizens can truly feel."
