Bangalore: Despite having financially difficult time, 70 percent of Indian consumers are looking to open their wallets to contribute to a worthy cause.
According to a survey done by MasterCard, which provides economic link among financial institutions, businesses, cardholders and merchants worldwide, 64 percent of consumers polled across the Asia Pacific region are looking to contribute to a charity this year-end holiday season. Respondents in Thailand (95 percent), China (78 percent), Hong Kong (74 percent), India (70 percent) and the Philippines (69 percent) are especially charitable, having the highest proportion of consumers looking to donate this season.
The year-end festive spirit does play an important role for some consumers, though 15 percent of the respondents said that they are more likely to contribute at the close of the year than at any other time. The top reason for this is that they simply feel more charitable at year-end i.e. 49 percent.
Georgette Tan, Vice President, Communications, Asia/Pacific, Middle East and Africa, MasterCard Worldwide said, "It is encouraging to see that many consumers do not think of giving to charity as just something to do as part of the year-end festivities, but are making it a part of their lifestyle all through the year. Purchase with Purpose, MasterCard's social responsibility and citizenship efforts across the region, seeks to complement this change in perceptions. Purchase with Purpose enables consumers to play a part in giving back to the community when they use their MasterCard cards, helping them contribute to a good cause even as they go through their everyday activities."
The survey was conducted from November 20 to 29, 2009 and involved 3,500 consumers from 12 markets across Asia/Pacific. Data collection was via online interviews, with the questionnaire translated to the local language wherever appropriate and necessary. The survey and its accompanying reports do not represent MasterCard financial performance.
