Large-scale enterprises are to benefit from a financial relief programme meant to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 shock on their operations.

The package involves the disbursement of a total of GH?1.2 billion to businesses under terms that will be announced in the mid-year budget review being presented to Parliament now.

Information available to Graphic Online indicates that the support programme will be implemented immediately and targeted at large scale enterprises.

It will be separate from the GH?600 million that is being disbursed to small and medium enterprises by the National Board for Small Scale Enterprises (NBSSI).

It is expected that the Finance Minister, Mr Ken Ofori-Atta, will give the details of the package in the ongoing review presentation.
