Govt. revises terms for one-time relief to disaster-affected businesses

THE Government has issued a new circular providing further relief to businesses disrupted by recent disasters, with the objective of restoring livelihoods, improving living conditions, and accelerating the return to normalcy for affected communities.

- 

The circular builds on the empowerment program introduced under Budget Circular No. 08/2025 dated December 5, 2025, along with its subsequent amendments, and introduces clarifications and revisions to ensure more efficient and effective implementation of business assistance measures. These changes specifically relate to Sub-Item No. 8 of the allowance framework outlined in the original budget circular.

Under the revised provisions, a onetime grant will be provided to help disaster-affected businesses become fit for resumption.
