Some 30,000 people downloaded the consumer vouchers offered by the government as part of an economic recovery campaign.

Economy Minister Silvio Schembri said on Facebook that 30,000 had downloaded the vouchers in the first 24 hours since the campaign was launched on Thursday.

This is the second such campaign the government introduced to help in the economic recovery. The government is spending €50 million on the measure, in the hope that consumers spend double that much as they had done last summer when the first campaign was launched.

This is one of the government’s measures to aid the economy as it recovers from the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.
