Covid-19: Impact on the Fiscal Position

Mr. Sebastian Barnes:

I will let Ms Holland answer the point regarding the measures that might be helpful for stimulus. With regard to regional measures, this issue has come up a number of times. We do have to think very carefully with regard to the regions because some will be hit much harder than others. That makes the overall adjustment much more difficult. That is definitely a factor that needs to be taken into account both for purely economic reasons and for important social reasons. Perhaps Ms Holland will share a few thoughts on the design of fiscal stimulus.
