Government plans to increase shopping voucher credit
Meanwhile, the government is examining the issue of increasing the shopping voucher credit. The Deputy Minister of Welfare has stated that if financial resources are secured, there is a possibility of increasing the credit for low- and middle-income households. This increase in credit could be implemented starting this fall.
Masoud Pezeshkian, our country's president, also emphasized yesterday among retirees that the amount of the shopping voucher will definitely increase. This news could herald better days for needy households seeking more support from the government.
Ultimately, we must wait and see whether these promises will be realized in practice. In a situation where many households are struggling with economic problems, increasing the shopping voucher credit could be seen as an effective solution in pursuing government support for vulnerable groups.
