According to him, small and medium-sized companies should have quick relief measures, such as deferred taxes, and large companies with access to capital.
“Those financial aid measures, first and foremost, will have to be provided, and I think in this place, like in the spring, the tax deferrals and everything else that has been quickly put in place has worked better. Because all the other measures, we have seen that they are also effective and good, but they take time and theoretically reach the final addressee in two to five months, ”V. Janulevičius told BNS on Sunday.
“I agree that the introduction of these measures must also take into account the new budget, the additional costs that will be used to compensate for the maintenance of this small, micro and medium-sized company,” he added.
According to V. Janulevičius, large companies do not expect subsidies, but soft loans, access to finance.
“The loans, not at crazy interest rates, but exactly as similar to state loans, should be.” … No one is saying there is a need for subsidies, but at least access to capital, “he said.
According to the president of the LPK, it can be expected that the lessons learned and the mechanisms developed in the spring will allow a smoother exit from the crisis for both companies and the State.
“The instruments that were developed in spring and summer and that are now being developed now will obviously always be in the arsenal and will always be much easier to activate, without any additional coordination with the communications of the European Union and the European Commission (. ..) “Said V. Janulevičius.
He noted that while the measures adopted on Sunday are necessary and appropriate, they continue to be very painful for companies, especially in the service sector.
“This is probably a very painful message for retailers, merchants, hotels, restaurants, they need to understand it and realize that they will really need these incentives.” It will also be necessary to stop companies that work with these commercial sectors, ”said the president of the confederation.
However, he acknowledged that without additional measures now, Lithuania would not only lose the lives of its citizens, but also its investment appeal.
“It is logical to try to fix this virus as much as possible now, because it could be even worse later on (…) Because in this case Lithuania will lose its entire investment climate in the long term and of course we will lose people first. Everything can. rebuild, but we will not rebuild people’s lives. Therefore, I believe that these measures are proportional to this moment, “said V. Janulevičius.
In Lithuania, most stores, except grocery stores, will be closed from Wednesday and the provision of contact services will be prohibited. Pharmacy, veterinary, optical and orthopedic hardware stores will remain open. They must provide an area of 10 square meters per person. E-commerce collection points will also be able to operate.
