The COVID-19 pandemic has severely affected SMEs around the world. Measures to combat the pandemic by blocking and quarantining have led to severe declines in the use of production capacity, with supply chains disrupted, leading to a lack of materials and intermediate goods. As a result, there has been a dramatic and sudden drop in demand and incomes, respectively, which has severely affected the ability of SMEs to operate due to lack of liquidities.
