[Budget 2021/Electronic Consumer Vouchers/Stock Stamp Duty] "Satisfy your meal", "Wash if you should wash it"... Before the Financial Secretary Chen Maobo released the "Budget", he had clearly indicated that he would not The whole nation will distribute money again, and the "sugar distribution" measure has shrunk compared to last year. The outside world originally had low expectations for the budget. Unexpectedly, the Budget announced today proposes to distribute 5,000 yuan in electronic consumer vouchers, with a total of 5,000 yuan per person. All-day focus.

To achieve this kind of "surprise" effect, a big "credit" lies in Chen Maobo's expectation management method. The Budget has long been known to "cut sugar", and now the people "have money to pocket" and will not cause all the streets. Scolding.

Repeatedly called "watching food and rice" management expectations

Under the impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the livelihoods of all walks of life have been greatly affected. The public naturally hopes to "distribute 10,000 yuan to the whole people" as last year, but Chen Maobo has already done "expectation management" long ago.

In an interview with the radio station in mid-February, he pointed out that the deficit is expected to be the highest in history, with a preliminary estimate of about 300 billion yuan. Although the government will take countercyclical measures, the Budget needs to "watch food and eat, and wash away." , And clearly stated that it is difficult to "add sugar". It seems that the "Budget" has "set the bottom" to lower the public's expectations of "sugar" in the "Budget".

At that time, Chen Maobo pointed out that after the cash distribution plan was carried out last year, there were opinions that resources should be more accurately given to those in need, and also implied that the chance of "all people giving money" was not high.

In fact, the establishment has stopped offering money this year, and there are generally not many voices expecting the government to send money. Only individual parties such as the Democratic Party demand "return water."

A week before the announcement of the "Budget", many local media also quoted news that the government would not "distribute money to all people" and would "cut sugar" at the same time, which greatly reduced the public's expectations of "sugar distribution" in the "Budget" .

At a time when the public has "zero expectations" for the "Budget", the "Budget" proposes an unprecedented "sugar distribution" method. Each person distributes electronic consumer vouchers worth 5,000 yuan, which surprised the society. The announcement immediately aroused heated discussions among the public.

The Liberal Party and the Pakatan Harapan "Successfully Fight"

The distribution of consumer vouchers is not the consensus of the establishment political parties. The Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong and the New Democrats believe that the government's finances are tight and do not recommend the distribution of money or consumer vouchers. Instead, the Federation of Trade Unions, the Pakatan Harapan and the Liberal Party all "successfully fought."

Among them, the Liberal Party’s wholesale and retail industry member Shao Jiahui proposed as early as last month that through Octopus, every citizen would be distributed 5,000 yuan in electronic consumer coupons in 10 installments. No wonder the Liberal Party scored 90 points for this budget.
