Ensure the smooth use of coupons.
The municipal government requires that enterprises participating in the activities should strengthen the management of the use of consumer vouchers, and safety supervisors should often conduct spot checks on used consumer vouchers to prevent the inflow of fake vouchers. The enterprise reports the statistics and analysis of the use of consumer vouchers twice a week to the Municipal Trade Bureau, and it needs to be reported every day from New Year's Eve to New Year's Day. The Hangzhou Municipal Bureau of Trade and the Municipal Department of Commerce and Industry will set up and publish a complaint telephone and inspection system for the use of consumer vouchers to handle related complaints.
Starting from May 1, Hangzhou Municipal Bureau of Trade will summarize the use of coupons and determine the scope of use of expired coupons.
Views on issuing consumer vouchers;
Mundell, the "father of the euro" and winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics, suggested that the government of China issue 1 trillion coupons to the whole country, which can be spent within three months, which can effectively solve the economic crisis facing China. According to Mundell's calculation, China's annual GDP is 28 trillion RMB, and 1 trillion coupons only stimulate 3.5% of effective demand. If the coupons are used up within three months and the GDP of 28 trillion RMB is divided by 4, the effective demand can reach 14%.
—— Southern Metropolis Daily
Consumer vouchers are not so much a means to stimulate consumption as a way to benefit the people, but rather a hint of consumer confidence and an improvement of the government's concept of people's livelihood service. It brings not only immediate per capita consumption 100 yuan, but also an opportunity for the government to change from economic construction to public service, and it is also a breakthrough point for external demand to promote economic development. It will help China's economy enter the "domestic demand era". —— Guangzhou Daily
Urban and rural subsistence allowances and five guarantees are usually included in the scope of government financial care, and there are rosters in civil affairs and social security institutions. If extra red envelopes are given to these people, corruption will inevitably occur at the practical level. The face value and service life of coupons are fixed, which can basically plug the loopholes of plucking or temporary misappropriation by grassroots officials. The operation is relatively simple and the supervision cost is low, which is worthy of emulation by governments at all levels in poverty alleviation.
Stimulating domestic demand exists objectively, but the significance lies not in this, but in the increasing awareness of local governments to use public finance to help the poor and the continuous improvement of methods and means. This is the key point worthy of praise and expectation. -Modern Express
Some economists also said that coupons can't continuously boost consumption. Even if coupons can boost consumption efficiency at one time, this effect can't be overestimated, because coupons may replace other expenses in consumers' plans, thus limiting and offsetting their role in increasing consumption.
