As I said, the July stimulus will be a package of scale. I expect it to include actions we can implement within weeks or months, not actions that cannot be done until next year or the year after, and to amount to several billions of euro in funding. It is important to say, however, that we are not going to fire all our bullets next week. We will do more in October as part of the budget and as part of the national economic plan. The proposals we publish next week will provide a multibillion euro package of measures that can be implemented quickly. It will include measures to help businesses that are closed to reopen and help those that have reopened but are struggling to stay open. Most important, it will maintain the connection between employers and employees so that we see more and more people going back to work over the next couple of weeks.
