Ministry of Finance recommends termination of "sustainable benefits", etc. "Emergency response" October 26, 16:27
The "Financial System Council" was held to discuss the national financial problems, and the Ministry of Finance plans to provide "sustainable benefits" to SMEs affected by the new coronavirus as an emergency response. As you can see, I recommended that the application deadline be January next year.
At the financial system council on the 26th, issues and support measures for SMEs were taken up.
Among them, the Ministry of Finance has decided on "sustainable benefits" that provide up to 2 million yen to small and medium-sized enterprises whose sales have decreased due to the new coronavirus, and "rent support benefits" that reduce the burden of rent. As an emergency response, I suggested that the application deadline in January next year should be completed as scheduled.
On top of that, he says that we should shift from emergency response to support for companies that are positive about the "post-corona" society.
In response to these recommendations, the committee members who attended commented that "we should support companies that respond to new daily life such as changing business models," and "sustainable benefits, etc. should be flexibly examined according to the infection situation." Therefore, a transitional measure should be set up. "
The council also discussed defense-related costs and suggested that organizational reforms such as reviewing staffing were necessary, saying that cost control for equipment procurement was not sufficient.
