The president of the Cabildo of Fuerteventura, Sergio Lloret, together with the 1st vice president and the Minister of Commerce, Domingo Pérez, received yesterday morning, in the plenary hall, Abbas Moujir, president of the Federation of Urban Areas of the Canary Islands (FAUCA). The reason for the meeting was the signing of the agreement between the Cabildo and the FAUCA that will make possible the implementation of the project 'I buy in Fuerteventura', an initiative in which, through a system of bonds that consumers acquire, they will be able to exchange them in the affiliated establishments, promoting the recovery of economic activity in the small and medium commerce of the island, as well as open shopping areas. This initiative will be developed through the federation, which will be in charge of designing, planning and organizing the campaign.

Between September 1 and 15, the registration period will be open for businesses in Fuerteventura that are interested in participating in this initiative. "Our greatest desire is for as many businesses as possible to join in the first phase," said Sergio Lloret. It will be from the same day September 15 when users will be able to acquire the bonuses.

This agreement has a financial file amounting to 316,522 euros, of which the Cabildo de Fuerteventura contributes the largest part, although it also has the collaboration of the General Directorate of Commerce of the Government of the Canary Islands, through the funds 'Reactivation of the Commercial Fabric of the Canary Islands'. It is an investment with which "we hope to boost businesses, since we are talking about increasing sales directly and increasing the attraction of customers," explained the island's head of Commerce, Domingo Pérez, who added that "this initiative is not only designed to help local commerce, but also to improve the family economy without reducing consumption." This is possible thanks to the fact that, for each bonus (whose maximum amount is 20 euros) the beneficiary will only have to contribute half of the amount, that is, 10 euros maximum for each bonus. The rules establish that each applicant DNI or NIE may acquire a maximum of 20 bonds. From the insular Ministry of Commerce they plan to obtain a return close to half a million euros, Money that would be poured directly into the commercial fabric of Majorero.
"We trust that this agreement will be vital to reactivate the commercial and economic fabric that, as we know, has been severely punished in recent years," concluded the president of the Cabildo, Sergio Lloret.
