According to the exchange on August 20, this year, professional instructors are scheduled to visit 24 organizations—including local welfare centers and companies employing people with developmental disabilities in the Busan region—to provide financial education to approximately 300 individuals with developmental disabilities over a total of eight sessions at each institution.

Since 2024, the exchange has been supporting customized financial education to help people with developmental disabilities, who typically have relatively limited access to financial information, acquire the financial knowledge necessary for everyday life and prepare for economic self-reliance.

Eunbo Jung, Chairman of the exchange, stated, "I hope that this educational program will help people with developmental disabilities enhance their understanding of finance and build the capability to make sound financial decisions in their daily lives." He added, "We will continue to provide ongoing support so that no one is left out of financial life and so that more people can achieve stable economic independence."
