The government today (18) announced the details of the $5,000 electronic consumer voucher. All Hong Kong permanent residents and new arrivals who are over 18 years old and residing in Hong Kong on or before June 18 can apply, excluding foreign domestic helpers and coming to Hong Kong. Non-local workers and international students.

The chairman of the DAB, Li Huiqiong, said that Chen Maobo welcomed the party's opinion to shorten the installment of consumer coupons and believed that it could reasonably stimulate local consumption.

She believes that the government must step up testing of the electronic payment system's capacity, because the plan will definitely be very active in the first few days, so the government must carefully arrange to avoid system congestion and paralysis.

The Liberal Party’s wholesale and retail sector member, Mr. Siu Ka-fai, said that he believes that consumer coupons can revitalize the weak retail industry and greatly help the economic recovery. He hopes that after the epidemic is brought under control, Hong Kong’s economy can take off again.

Shao Jiahui said that he believes that consumer coupons can revitalize the weak retail industry.

Li Huiqiong urges to speed up administrative procedures and strengthen publicity for installment arrangements

Li Huiqiong pointed out that it is necessary for the government to expedite the administrative procedures for processing written applications for consumers to facilitate the elderly to receive them.

In addition, the government should also strengthen publicity, including making lazy bags, especially the installment arrangements for the receipt of Octopus, and broadly publicize the scope of application of consumer vouchers to avoid confusion among the public.

When asked how people outside Hong Kong such as the "Guangdong Plan" or the "Fujian Plan" can receive and use consumer vouchers, Li Huiqiong said that according to her knowledge, the Hong Kong residents concerned can also choose to buy goods online in addition to returning to Hong Kong in person.

As for the plan does not cover people who have immigrated to Hong Kong, Li Huiqiong believes that the government's past money distribution plans are all the same, which I believe is a response to social demands.

As for the use of Octopus to receive consumer coupons that can be used for transportation, Li Huiqiong believes that it is caused by a technical problem, because the general public will use Octopus to take transportation, so it is difficult to distinguish.

Former Secretary for Security and New Democratic Party chairman Ye Liu Shuyi pointed out that although Hong Kong permanent residents who have immigrated or are not naturalized locally, they do not meet the requirements of usual residence in Hong Kong and therefore are not eligible to receive electronic consumer vouchers.

Ye Liu: Hong Kong people who have immigrated to Hong Kong do not meet the requirements of usual residence in Hong Kong

The New Democrat Party Chairman Ip Liu Shuyi said that if there are Hong Kong permanent residents studying abroad or being assigned to work overseas, they are still usually living in Hong Kong, because a person can have two places of usual residence, but Hong Kong permanent residents who have immigrated may or may not live in Hong Kong. Naturalized locally, but does not meet the requirements of usual residence in Hong Kong, so it is not eligible to receive electronic consumer vouchers.

The Democratic Party worries about e-payment providers resetting fees, adding pressure to small merchants

The Democratic Party’s spokesperson for economics and industrial and commercial affairs, Chen Baoming, believes that the distribution of $5,000 in two to three phases will not attract the public to make additional consumption, and will have limited practical effect on promoting Hong Kong’s economy.

He urged the government to face the demands of the public and increase the consumption coupons to 10,000 yuan.

In addition, Chen Baoming pointed out that the development of electronic payment is subject to problems such as high installation fees. It is undoubtedly a huge pressure on small merchants to worry about the re-charge of consumer vouchers afterwards, and they are worried that they may be abandoned all at once.

Zeng Ziming, deputy spokesperson for the Democratic Party’s youth policy, believes that the party has advocated that Hong Kong citizens under the age of 18 can also benefit, and that it is necessary to subsidize school children, but the government has ignored this group in support.
