In response to why the consumer coupons issued this year reduce the amount, Chen Maobo, the director of the Hong Kong Financial Secretary, said that the government must do its best.
According to Sing Tao Daily, Chen Maobo attended the hotline of the Treasurer Finance Department of the Radio Program on Thursday (February 23) in the morning to continue to explain the budget.
Some audiences questioned why the consumer coupon "sugar reduces" this year, saying that there are still foreign exchange reserves and other funds in Hong Kong.In response, Chen Maobo responded that the government could not "swell his face with a wide face", and he had to do his best.
Chen Maobo said that the government cannot easily use foreign exchange funds, otherwise it will shake financial and currency stability and will cause great harm to society.He agreed that the "sugar" measures launched this year are relatively small. He hopes that the citizens have forgiven that the measures proposed at present are already the government's efforts.
When the Hong Kong New Special Administrative Region Government issued the first fiscal budget during his tenure on Wednesday (February 22), he announced the launch of a number of benefits to the people, including it will qualify for a permanent resident of 18 years of age or above.And people from Xinlai Hong Kong will send 5,000 Hong Kong dollars (about 853 yuan) electronic consumption vouchers per person. It is expected that 6.5 million will benefit from about 33 billion Hong Kong dollars.This is the third consecutive year of the Hong Kong Government to send electrical consumer coupons, but the amount decreased by half compared with last year.
