The investment of the Xunta, which allocates 30 million euros for the implementation of this line, will allow the mobilization of 250 million euros in loans that will help mitigate the effects of coronavirus on the Galician business network.

The beneficiaries will have up to four years to repay these loans, with a one-year grace period, and the Xunta will pay 100% of the interest.
