A process for preparing C.sub.2 to C.sub.3 olefins includes introducing a feed stream having a volumetric ratio of hydrogen to carbon monoxide from greater than 0.5:1 to less than 5:1 into a reactor, and contacting the feed stream with a bifunctional catalyst. The bifunctional catalyst includes a Cr/Zn oxide methanol synthesis component having a Cr to Zn molar ratio from greater than 1.0:1 to less than 2.15:1, and a SAPO-34 silicoaluminophosphate microporous crystalline material. The reactor operates at a temperature ranging from 350 C. to 450 C., and a pressure ranging from 10 bar (1.0 MPa) to 60 bar (6.0 MPa). The process has a cumulative productivity of C.sub.2 to C.sub.3 olefins greater than 15 kg C.sub.2 to C.sub.3 olefins/kg catalyst.
