Osaka City announced on the 22nd that it will issue "premium gift certificates" that can be used at retail stores in the city as a measure to stimulate consumption, which has cooled due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection. The premium rate is 30%, and one unit of 10,000 yen can be used for 13,000 yen worth of shopping. Purchase applications are available from September 16th.
According to the city government, non-residents can also purchase tickets, but if the number of requests for purchases exceeds the number of units issued, priority will be given to city residents, and purchasers will be selected by lottery. The maximum number of purchase units is 4 units per person, and the number of issued units is 1.76 million units.
