In 2020, an emergency plan was implemented to deal with the immediate economic consequences of the health crisis, followed from 2022 onwards by a resilience plan, which remains in progress, to support business in the face of the energy crisis. Numerous schemes to help businesses have been launched, at an estimated cost of €92.4 billion between 2020 and 2022, and total financial support of €260.4 billion including guaranteed loans and deferred payment of social security contributions.
