EPIDEMIC IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON ENTERPRISES AND ITS COUNTERMEASURES

—Quick Questionnaire Survey to Thousands of Enterprises

Chinese Entrepreneur Survey System

Abstract: Most of the interviewed entrepreneurs believe that COVID-19 has great impacts on Chinese enterprises, especially the small and medium-sized enterprises. They are not confident in achieving their annual growth goals. They have supported and actively cooperated with the government to implement measures for response to the epidemic. They hope the government to take short-term countermeasures, such as giving financial discounts to the industries severely affected by the epidemic, handling or easing some loans and order contracts by the force majeure, and giving income tax deductions to corporate and individual donors, so as to reduce the pressure of enterprises on short-term cash flow and rent, and help enterprises cope with the impacts brought by the epidemic.
