FairPrice to provide return vouchers to bolster government's CDC support package

FPG will supply S$8 in return vouchers for every single transaction at any FairPrice store.

FairPrice Group has offered FairPrice vouchers as assistance for Singapore shoppers, supplementing the support provided by the government under the Community Development Council (CDC) Voucher Schemes.

From 3 to 17 January 2024, the Singapore retailer will distribute $6.01 (S$8) in FairPrice return vouchers for every $60.11 (S$80) worth of CDC supermarket vouchers spent in a single transaction at any FairPrice store.

Return vouchers will have no minimum spend requirement. Multiple vouchers can also be used in a single transaction. All vouchers will be valid from the next day of issuance by 29 February 2024.

For its second year of implementation, the initiative has accompanied the Singapore government’s efforts to assist all Singaporeans with the increasing cost of living. Through the CDC Vouchers Scheme, Singaporeans have received a total of S$500 in vouchers from 3 January 2024.

“The increased cost of living over the last two years due to stubborn inflation and supply chain infractions has led to households cutting back on spending; including on daily necessities. As a social enterprise, it is our mission to support the communities in which we serve in their time of need,” Vipul Chawla, Group CEO of FairPrice Group, stated.

Alongside the CDC Vouchers Scheme, FairPrice Group will also absorb the 1% GST increase on 500 essential items for the first six months of 2024.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
