In response to the continuous impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic on the economy, the government launched the second round of the "Protecting Employment" plan. However, the two supermarkets, Wellcome and Baijia, whose businesses benefit from the epidemic, need to increase the terms, including giving back to the disadvantaged. Less than 50%.
Regarding PARKnSHOP’s launch of the lucky draw, when the Secretary for Labour and Welfare Luo Chi-kwong attended the radio program this morning (26), he did not mention that a member of the Council was "aggrieved" as the government's opinion, and emphasized that the government did not require supermarkets to give feedback in any form.
He agreed that the lottery may reduce the level of feedback, but as long as it meets the requirements, the government will approve it. He also pointed out that "the money in the Mark Six lottery will be worthless." He suggested that unclaimed prizes be given back to the society.
Luo Zhiguang also mentioned that he had discussed the feedback on price reductions, but received one-sided opposition, including doubts that supermarkets would increase first and then decrease and affect the ecology of other small supermarkets.
He emphasized that supermarket price reductions are very welcome, but because it is difficult to calculate the return ratio, it is not a return method approved by the plan, but he believes that companies should fulfill their social responsibilities.
He also pointed out that there are indeed many employers subsidized by the first phase of the "Protected Employment" program, whose profits have rebounded recently. However, if the government changes to only precisely support unprofitable companies, the second phase may have to be postponed to November this year. Accept the application.
On the commercial radio program "Politics and Economics Saturday", Luo Zhiguang admitted that the "Protecting Employment" plan "protects the sun", but emphasized that everything should be based on objective data. In July and August, the market was worse than the SARS peak period. In July, the number of employed people was 50,000 more than 4. Although the "Ensure Employment" plan was not perfect, it still saved some employees. I believe the situation of taking unpaid leave without a plan will be even more serious.
Regarding the unemployment assistance that the society has been fighting for, Luo Zhiguang explained that the government has not been able to grasp the information of every wage earner. In addition to the high cost and hedging issues, it will take 18 months to deal with it.
Some political parties suggested the introduction of temporary unemployment assistance. He believed that it could not be short-lived. Taking the 2008 financial tsunami as an example, the unemployment rate did not fall to a low level until 6 or 7 years later.
Luo Zhiguang also bluntly said that the society must be serious about the discussion of unemployment benefits, "Yijiajing is a slogan."
The Care Fund will distribute 10,000 yuan to low-income new arrivals. From tomorrow, it can apply at 17 Bank of China branches in Hong Kong.

Regarding the approved BOC being appointed as the sole agent without bidding, Luo Zhiguang explained that to use all banks, the system of different banks needs to be connected, which is very complicated and time-consuming; and the bidding process also takes 3 to 6 months to be the most convenient For consideration, the applicant decided to hand it over to the Bank of China which has the most branches.
The Bank of China is expected to receive more than 30 million yuan in administrative fees. Luo Zhiguang said that it involves the development of an online platform, processing and verification of income test data.
