With the spread of the new coronavirus becoming more difficult for small and medium-sized enterprises, the number of bills used to pay for each other's bills that can not be prepared by the promised date and became "payment" last month, the same month last year It turns out that the number has doubled.

The bill is to promise the deferred payment in the case of transactions between companies and hand it over.

If you fail to prepare funds and make payments by the due date, you will have a "payment". If you make two payments within half a year, your transactions with financial institutions will be suspended, making it difficult to continue your business.

According to a summary of the Japan Bankers Association, the number of bills that failed to be delivered last month was 1,560, which is double the number of the same month last year.

The amount of non-delivery was over 10 billion yen, which was about eight times as large.

The number of companies that failed to make transactions twice and suspended their transactions with financial institutions was 83 companies.

This is because the number of companies whose sales have fallen sharply due to the spread of the new coronavirus and their cash flow has become difficult.Since last month, the number of companies that have become stuck in management and have taken legal procedures such as bankruptcy or have stopped their business are increasing. .

The National Bankers Association has sought financial institutions nationwide to provide special support to SMEs that do not treat them as non-payment if they cannot provide the funds on time.
