Local governments issue vouchers to boost consumption
多地發(fā)放新春消費(fèi)券促進(jìn)消費(fèi)

As the Spring Festival approaches, many local governments have stepped up their efforts to boost consumption by issuing vouchers and launching a range of promotion activities, according to the Securities Daily.
據(jù)《證券日?qǐng)?bào)》報(bào)道，隨著春節(jié)臨近，許多地方政府都通過發(fā)放消費(fèi)券和開展一系列促銷活動(dòng)來加大刺激消費(fèi)的力度。

Such efforts were encouraged by the Ministry of Commerce, which worked with relevant local departments to prioritize economic recovery and boost consumption by fine-tuning the implementation of policies and initiatives, according to the ministry's spokeswoman Shu Jueting at a regular press conference.
這些促進(jìn)消費(fèi)的措施也受到商務(wù)部的支持。日前，商務(wù)部新聞發(fā)言人束玨婷在例行新聞發(fā)布會(huì)上表示，商務(wù)部將和各地方各相關(guān)部門一道，把恢復(fù)和擴(kuò)大消費(fèi)擺在優(yōu)先位置，積極研究細(xì)化落實(shí)促消費(fèi)政策舉措。
 
Shenyang, the capital of Liaoning province, will distribute 100 million yuan of Spring Festival consumption coupons from Jan 10 to Feb 28, aiming to encourage sales in automobiles, home appliances and retail. In Tianjin, the second phase of 115 million yuan of vouchers will be issued from Jan 11 onwards, with four categories of vouchers for automobiles, home appliances, retail and catering sectors.

Encouraging consumption is on the top of the agenda in 2023, said Fu Yifu, a senior researcher from the Star Atlas Institute of Finance. It is timely that many places across the country are issuing vouchers, which are expected to be more effective in boosting consumption, given that people are more willing to spend during the upcoming Spring Festival, which is traditionally the peak season for consumption, Fu added.

The move has reduced household burdens, injected vitality into the consumption market and enhanced confidence in economic recovery, said Zhang Yiqun, deputy director of the China Special Committee on Budget Performance.
