Message from FSTB/government - Anti-epidemic Fund 2.0 - virtual booklet
15 Apr 2020To all members of the HK Trustees' Association Ltd
In response to the challenges arising from the COVID-19 virus, the Chief Executive, Mrs Carrie Lam, announced on 8 April 2020 a series of measures involving over $130 billion to help businesses stay afloat, keep workers in employment, relieve financial burdens of individuals and businesses and assist the economy to recover once the epidemic is contained. The measures are a response further to the relief package in the 2020-21 Budget and the first round of the Anti-epidemic Fund.
The Government has prepared a virtual booklet (attached is the Chi. version) to introduce these measures, e.g. the $80 billion Employment Support Scheme under which wage subsidies will be provided to eligible employers. The e-copy will be available on https://www.coronavirus.gov.hk.
Kind regards,
Executive Committee
