Erfurt (dpa / th) - According to the IHK Erfurt, the restrictions caused by the corona pandemic are dwindling the financial basis of many companies.
The Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IHK) Erfurt announced on Monday that 56 percent of the companies had to struggle with financial problems.
She cited a survey of around 800 companies.
"The situation is very tense," said IHK chief executive Cornelia Haase-Lerch.
More than a third of the companies reported a decline in equity, 23 percent were struggling with liquidity bottlenecks.
Due to the current lockdown in Thuringia, the financial drought of the companies is prolonged until mid-March and could mean the end for some companies.
Four percent of all businesses see themselves threatened with bankruptcy - small, family-run hotels and restaurants as well as stationary retail are particularly at risk.
The November and December aid would only arrive there slowly.
But almost every fourth industrial company now lives on the substance from better years, according to the chamber.
