 ¥1.4 trillion loaned to households in financial distress due to COVID-19 through the government’s special loan program, ¥468.5 billion has been exempted from repayment and is now uncollectable.

From  ¥1.4 trillion loaned  that being loaned ¥468.5 billion being exempted, that was near 30% of total loan that were given out, for free. Those borrower really need to thanks to Japanese tax payer money.
