ROME - Italy's government approved on Monday a new emergency decree that will offer more than 400 billion euros worth of liquidity and bank loans to companies hit by the coronavirus crisis.

He promised a further package later this month to help the people most financially hurt by the epidemic. Italy's state lender Cassa Depositi e Prestiti and its export agency Sace will provide further guarantees until the end of this year for an additional €200 billion, according to the decree.The scheme, made possible by a loosening of European Union rules on state aid to companies, aims to keep credit flowing to the economy without forcing losses onto banks because of the additional risks they take on due to the virus.
