The sixth stimulus package, which extends or reactivates aid measures and introduces several new instruments, was cleared for the plenary after the Finance Committee added significant amendments.
The latest package, valued at around EUR 1 billion, is meant to alleviate the impact of the coronacrisis on businesses and residents, extending once more the furlough scheme, measures to help liquidity and introducing, as a key novelty, help with fixed expenses. Part time work subsidies will also be continued, but it was said that this would be secured through a government decree and not with the new package.
