Submitted by Alina Danieles… on 01 April 2020

On 19 March 2020 the European Commission has adopted a Temporary Framework for State Aid measures to support the economy in the current COVID-19 outbreak. The Temporary Framework provides for five types of aid which can be granted by Member States: 

  • Direct grants, selective tax advantages and advance payments
  • State guarantees for loans taken by companies from banks
  • Subsidised public loans to companies
  • Safeguards for banks that channel State Aid to the real economy
  • Short-term export credit insurance

The Temporary Framework will be in place until the end of December 2020. With a view to ensuring legal certainty, the Commission will assess before that date if it needs to be extended.
