To begin with, the impact of COVID-19 on economic activity is waning, and although the impact of the pandemic remains in some segments, the financial positions of small and medium-sized firms have been on an improving trend on the whole. Meanwhile, the number of bankruptcies has still been stable at a low level. In addition, demand for the special operations has declined.
Acute crisis measures, such as said operations, appear to have almost finished their role. If crisis measures continue for longer than necessary, this could result in unexpected misallocation of resources in the overall economy. However, the impact of COVID-19 has not disappeared.
