Government turns to economy and investment – Who will get liquidity by December

The government is focusing on economy and stimulating liquidity, thus restarting with a horizon of 2023.

This is done through NSRF, debt clearing and compensation, which mainly concerns those who have been affected by the pandemic.

Fears of an increase in cases due to the "Delta" mutation but also new restrictive measures for the unvaccinated bring several industries facing uncertainty. Representatives of the food service sector are already protesting against a possible reduction in turnover as a result of the decisions for unvaccinated citizens, asking for financial support, as well as other sectors (eg gyms).
