In the midst of the coronavirus crisis, Agnès Pannier-Runacher announced on Saturday on Europe 1 that the government was launching a toll-free number on Monday to guide business leaders.

They will be guided in their procedures, in particular in terms of obtaining the aid intended for them.

INTERVIEW

The current Covid-19 pandemic and the re-containment in force since Friday are likely to permanently plunge the finances of many companies into the red.

This is the reason why, in addition to the aid announced to compensate for the shortfall during these periods of closure, the government will launch a toll-free number for business leaders.

Agnès Pannier Runacher, guest of the morning of Europe 1 on Saturday, indicated that this line intended for the accompaniment of the leaders would be put in place from Monday.

"It is managed at the level of the entire Ministry of the Economy."

"We measure the number of traders closed at 200,000", continues Agnès Pannier-Runacher, according to whom "there is a risk weighing on these activities".

Hence "massive measures" to come to the aid of these companies: "Closed traders will benefit from support of up to 10,000 euros per month, which will allow them to cope in the short term, but also to pay themselves. "

Other devices were announced Wednesday, by Emmanuel Macron, and Thursday, by the government.
