Japan (Reuters)-According to a Reuters company survey in May, 20 percent of companies said they were worried about running out of money if the impact lasted for a long time, while 30 to 40 percent of steel and cars in transit sounded cautious. With regard to cash flow, more than 60% of companies responded that they would consider public financing when market conditions worsened. It can be seen that even for mid-sized companies with more than y1bn in capital, there are widespread fears of a shortage of funds and a decline in strength.

The survey was conducted between April 28 and May 15, and sent out 499 survey papers to companies with more than 1 billion yen in capital and received responses from around 230 companies.
