ETH Professors Sturm and Gersbach: A «short-time working regime for capital» is now needed
Press release
The Swiss government has taken initial measures to cushion the economic consequences of the coronavirus pandemic. However, companies will still have to bear costs such as rent, leases or interest payments. These capital costs are not covered by the current package. They should be partially reimbursed to companies through existing channels. This is what ETH professors Hans Gersbach and Jan-Egbert Sturm are proposing.
