The Greek government on Thursday announced a 3.3-billion-euro package of additional support measures for enterprises and workers hit by the introduction of a second round of a lockdown in the country beginning Saturday, ANA reports.
These measures include one-off financial support of 800 euros for workers put in suspension during November, expanding the fourth round of state loans to enterprises reaching 1.0 billion euros, the immediate return to property owners of 50 pct of damages because of the mandatory reduction of rents, expanding unemployment benefits by two months and offering 400-euro financial support to 130,000 non-subsidized long-term unemployed people.
Staikouras also announced a new plan to extend the payment of bank cheques.
The country’s cash reverses, totaling 37.5 billion euros, must be exploited prudently and responsibly and stressed that developments confirmed that the country must maintain an adequate “arsenal” since a return to normality will be late to come.
