Introduction
It's no secret that 2023 has been a financially challenging year for many Singaporeans. Rising costs of living, coupled with the economic fallout from the global pandemic, have put a strain on our wallets. To help alleviate this burden, the Singapore government has announced a new round of CDC vouchers, worth a total of $300, for 2025.
What are CDC vouchers?
CDC vouchers are electronic vouchers that can be used to purchase essential goods and services, including groceries, household items, and transport. They are issued to Singaporean households based on their income and household size.
