The new crown pneumonia epidemic in Hong Kong has been raging for more than a year. In order to stimulate the local economy, the government announced the distribution of electronic consumer vouchers at the beginning of this year. After that, relevant news has been announced successively. For example, citizens can register for consumer vouchers through the government-launched app "Smart Convenience"; People are not benefited, but citizens participating in Fujian or Guangdong programs, studying abroad, etc. are exempted.

Today, the Financial Secretary, Chen Maobo, announced the details of applying for consumer vouchers. Citizens must first go to the government’s new consumer vouchers website for central registration, select the payment tool, and make a statement about "residence in Hong Kong" before they can apply for consumer vouchers.
