According to a Unification Ministry report, W3.8 trillion was allocated for supporting interaction between the two Koreas in such activities as family reunions and providing aid to the North. The rest was used to carry out financial promises such as support for building North Korean light water reactors in the 1990s.

The ministry said 15 to 16 percent of the budget earmarked for inter-Korean cooperation has been allocated.
