  • What is it about?

    The Finnish Government has decided to introduce a new form of support intended to cover the costs of businesses that have experienced a marked decrease in turnover due to the coronavirus and have costs that are difficult to adjust.

    According to the bill, the aim of the support for business costs is to reduce the number of companies facing bankruptcy by ensuring the continuity of business activities and maintaining the financial production capacity.

    The support will be granted by the State Treasury.
