| Comments |
The 200 Yuan vouchers were part of a one-time stimulus scheme launched by the Ma Ying-jeou administration in response to the global financial crisis. Every resident of Taiwan — citizen or foreign national holding valid residency — was entitled to three vouchers totaling 3,600 Yuan, distributed beginning January 18, 2009. The program cost roughly NT$85.8 billion.
These are not legal tender in any conventional sense. Retailers were obligated to accept them but could only redeem them through designated financial institutions within a fixed window. Unspent vouchers reverted in value to the government, a detail that generated considerable public debate about whether the scheme actually stimulated spending or merely substituted for it.
