The government has advised state-run enterprises to cut performance-based bonuses for executive-level employees by 10 percent or more to help overcome the impact of the COVID-19 crisis. 

Under the decision by the Ministry of Economy and Finance on Friday, the threshold of performance-based bonus cuts will be raised to 15 percent at finance-related public organizations. 

Those state-run enterprises will be encouraged to compensate a portion of the cut bonuses by providing affected workers with coupons aimed at revitalizing regional economies.
