The refund will be allocated according to a share of 65 per cent coming from the central government and 35% of the local administration.

Note that the request for loan insurance must be filed from may 27, 2020 August 31, 2020 through the government platform. These requests will then be reviewed by the government and independent consultants hired by the Administration.
