Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Impact of Covid-19: SME Recovery

Mr. Derek Butler:

If the Deputy looks at the Danish example, on which we have modelled much of our scheme, he will see that Denmark acted early and effectively. It designed its scheme to work effectively for small businesses and that has instilled confidence in the Danish SME sector. It is now recovering at pace. It is exactly that type of measure that we expect to see in the July stimulus.
