Along with the protracted corona crisis, the Ukrainian problem and the effects of the weak yen have led to soaring prices, and the soaring raw material and fuel prices have had a particularly negative impact on many companies. According to the announcement by the Small and Medium Enterprise Agency, while the balance of loans to SMEs, including zero-zero loans, is increasing at all financial
institutions, the loan repayment capacity is increasing due to the increase in the loan-to-month ratio.
