UOB allots $3b relief assistance for SMEs affected by COVID-19

It hopes to help SME clients address near-term liquidity needs.

UOB is allotting $3b (US$2.16b) in relief assistance to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to cushion the effects of the COVID-19, according to a news release.

The bank is seeking to help its SME clients address their near-term liquidity needs.

Relief measures aim to enable affected firms to have more flexibility in their cash flow management, including reworking principal payments, servicing their loan interest for up to one year, extending up to one year working capital financing of up to $5m (US$3.6m), and finance liquidity against mortgage security.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
