Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Covid-19: Impact on the Fiscal Position

Mr. Sebastian Barnes:

We have not done a specific analysis of the SMEs. However, when one looks at our work between the central scenario and the severe scenario, one of the points that could make the difference between those two is actually how much damage is done to the SME sector.

We have not done an in-depth analysis of that, but we will certainly take a closer look at it because, as the Deputy correctly stated, it is important. It could make the difference between a more normal recovery and a recovery that takes a long time.
