As the spread of the new coronavirus spreads, more and more companies are temporarily losing sales due to factors such as plant shutdowns and self-restraint events.
Under these circumstances, the National Bankers Association held a special meeting of the Board of Directors on Thursday to discuss the immediate response to companies that are having difficulty raising cash.
In this case, large lending banks and regional banks are required not to request unnecessarily many documents when financing, and to change lending conditions such as grace of repayment from companies that have already provided financing. If they do, they want to be quick and flexible.
In addition, a telephone consultation desk has been set up to respond to corporate concerns regarding loans and repayments.
The telephone number is 050-3385-6091 and is available from 9 am to noon on weekdays and from 1 pm to 5 pm.
In response to companies affected by the new coronavirus, the government has set up a new lending system that will be substantially interest-free and unsecured to support the financing of small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as Mitsubishi UFJ and Mizuho. Private financial institutions have also begun to respond, including creating special financing systems.
