By Zoila Palma: Today, Prime Minister John Briceno said that to assist businesses with cash flow and get them back on their feet, the Central Bank will make available $50 million for loans to micro, small, medium, and large businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

“ We are looking at assisting businesses that create jobs and bring foreign exchange [in industries such as] agriculture, BPO’s and tourism. This will assist those businesses directly affected by the pandemic,” Briceno said.
