A survey conducted by the Japan Chamber of Commerce and Industry found that more than half of small and medium-sized enterprises nationwide had already been affected by the spread of the new coronavirus.
This survey was conducted by the Japan Chamber of Commerce and Industry in the middle of last month, targeting small and medium-sized enterprises nationwide, and more than 2,100 companies responded.
When asked about the business impact of the spread of the new coronavirus, 56.8% of the companies replied “already happened”, which was 12 points higher than the survey a month ago, exceeding half for the first time.
When asked about the management response to these companies, 38.4% said they "consulted with financial institutions", while 38.6% said "I have concerns about cash flow but do not consult". It was.
There are voices from companies saying, "I don't know how much money I need to secure," or "I'm worried that sales will fall sharply and a repayment plan can be made."
The Japan Chamber of Commerce and Industry believes that many companies are hesitant to consult because the prospects are uncertain, and we are strengthening the acceptance of cash flow consultations at the counters of the chambers in each region. I would like to ask for such correspondence. "
