Over 650,000 households have claimed latest tranche of CDC vouchers

Together with the $500 vouchers distributed in January – which about 1.3 million households claimed – each Singaporean household will receive a total of $800 in 2024.

Between its launch in December 2021 and the end of 2024, the CDC vouchers scheme is expected to spur $900 million of spending at participating hawkers and heartland businesses, said Ms Low at the Singapore Heartland Enterprise Summit on June 27.

To date, the CDC vouchers scheme has catalysed close to $650 million of spending at participating heartland merchants and hawker stalls.

Singaporean households have used more than $1 billion of CDC vouchers across the last four tranches.
