The Development Bank of Wales mobilised all teams to respond to demand, with the first loans being approved within three days of its Covid fund launch (on 30 March).  A total of 1,331 business accessed loan facilities of just over £92m helping to safeguard over 16,000 jobs.

By 14 April, we estimate the Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme provided some 850 loans to Welsh businesses. I was referring to this period of time in my press conference.
