Businesses have until the end of March to request aid to pay rent

The end of March is the deadline for submitting rent subsidy applications, although the Economy Ministry announced it won’t end its support for businesses on that date.

The ministry’s spokesperson Katarína Matejková explained that in light of the current epidemiological situation and the anti-epidemic measures imposed by the government, support for businesses is being extended monthly.
