Even though there is no clear definition of new financial programs, they are regarded as new programs that are not carried out in the last year. The number of new financial programs is about 500 every year. 459 new financial programs were carried out in 2010, and their size of budget was about 2.56 trillion won.

  Even though the budget size of new financial programs was just about one percent of total expenditure, looking at new financial programs showed us the direction national financial programs headed for.

  Despite importance of new financial programs deliberation of them is not sufficiently done because there is no law provision that makes new financial programs be reviewed tightly before they are put into practice as budget programs.

  This handbook explains new financial programs from the various perspectives; by year, financial resource, committee, ministries and execution types.
