July 24, 2020 – Economic Council experts continue to collect data for the COVID-19 matrix. Discussions were held with representatives of the HoReCa sector, construction and real estate, trade and carriers.

HoReCa representatives need predictability in the process of applying business rules during a pandemic crisis. A plan should be developed that outlined how the rules were applied based on the incidence of COVID-19.
The retail sector has the same desire.

The builders are demanding a revision of the procurement law and securing payments from the state. Representatives of the transport industry spoke about the need to reimburse the cost of excise taxes on diesel fuel.

All these requests of the business are inserted by the experts from the Economic Council in the Anticovid-19 Matrix which is elaborated within the Study of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the sectors of the economy.

Discussions with the business will continue, and recommendations from the Anticovid-19 Matrix will be made in September 2020.
