Japanese SME's represent 50% of GDP and 70% of national employment. Studies on primary cash balance data (vs Poll) by JP Morgan and a number of other banks around the world indicate the majority of SME's run out of cash in 16-27 days (varies by country). So even if 40% of SME's fail, that's 20% GDP reduction and 28% unemployment. And then the flow through effect to property and supply chains. We have to SOS - Save Our SME's and do everything we can to support them through business and through government assistance. It is the only way we can accelerate Japans economic recovery once we have control of the medical side of the crisis. So please, support your local businesses. Every effort makes a big difference!
