陳茂波:第一期消費券沿用舊有支付工具 會了解有無其他營運商有興趣加入第二期
《2022/23年底財政預算案》提出,再向每名合資格的18歲或以上香港永久性居民及新來港人士,分期發放總額一萬元的電子消費券。財政司司長陳茂波表示,政府希望儘快在4月派發第一期5,000元消費券,因此會沿用上一次派發消費券時的舊資料和市民原本選擇的支付工具,餘下第二期會在暑假纔會派發,屆時年滿18歲的市民均符合資格可以領取第二期。他指,派發第二期消費券時,會了解市場有沒有其他電子支付工具有興趣加入,再考慮增加派發渠道,亦希望有更多電子支付工具推出優惠吸客,令消費券效益更好。
《預算案》提出,將立法禁止業主對指定行業未能交租租戶採終止租約等行動,爲期三個月並可再延長最多三個月。陳茂波指,希望措施精準,部分行業業務表現不錯,因此不選擇將措施涵蓋所有行業,措施將適用於防疫抗疫基金的17類處所,以及零售和從事興趣班的行業,會有列表列明,金管局亦會與銀行溝通,若業主因租金收入減少影響還款能力可彈性處理,該做法在英國、新加坡有先例,政府一直有和律政司溝通,兼顧措施法律問題。
