Rent support for stores, etc. Adjust by expanding target businesses New LDP Corona May 5, 5:22
The Liberal Democratic Party is making adjustments toward expanding the scope of the emergency declaration, as to support measures for businesses whose rent payments are difficult due to the spread of the new coronavirus.
In order to support businesses that have difficulty in paying rents at stores, etc., the Liberal Democratic Party has actually used interest-free and unsecured loans, and businesses whose monthly sales have decreased by 50% or more from last year. I was considering a system to subsidize the rent.
However, since it is expected that more businesses will be affected by the extension of the emergency declaration, we are making adjustments to include businesses that have lost 30% or more of sales in the past few months.
In addition, the subsidy amount should be reduced considering the rents in urban areas, and the policy is to cap the average rent of businesses in Tokyo.
The Liberal Democratic Party wants to incorporate it into the support measures as the ruling party, which will be adjusted on the 7th after adjusting within the party.
On the other hand, the five opposition parties such as the Constitutional Democratic Party have submitted a bill including delays in the payment of rent, so it is expected that talks will be held between the ruling and opposition parties.
