\nThe SME Recovery Loan Scheme builds on earlier loan schemes introduced during COVID-19, under which around 74,000 loans totalling around $6.2 billion were written.
\nThe loans will be available through participating lenders until 31 December 2021. The expansion complements other financial support the Commonwealth is offering to businesses impacted by the current COVID-19 health restrictions.
\nThe Morrison Government will continue to support small businesses as they seek to rebuild, adapt and create jobs on the other side of this crisis.
