About 18%of Japan receiving epidemic -related loans SMEs are facing difficulty in repayment

The results of the investigation by Japan's Datong Life Insurance Company showed that about 18%of SMEs that accept financial institutions with new crown epidemic -related loans may be unable to repay on time. Although Japan's epidemic has settled, the depreciation of the yen and the rise in raw material prices have led to a rise in procurement prices, and the funds of small and medium -sized enterprises are in trouble.

According to a report by Kyodo News Agency on June 26, the above -mentioned survey was targeted at SMEs across Japan, and interviewed it in May. Among the 3,190 companies that received the new crown loan, a total of 566 companies (accounted for 17.7%) were uneasy about repayment, of which 29 stated that "there is no eye -catching repayment, the business is difficult to continue", and 305 expressed hope "can relax the relaxation Loan conditions "and so on.

It is reported that the "accommodation and catering service industry" accounts for nearly 40%of the survey. The person in charge of Datong's life said that considering that the procurement price is still high, and at the same time, "the forecast cannot be predicted, it is difficult for SMEs to conduct equipment investment or expand their business." Essence It is reported that after the outbreak of the new crown epidemic, the Japanese government and the people's financial institutions have previously used interest -free and guaranteed loans to support small and medium -sized enterprises to maintain their business.
