The CBN COVID-19 loan is an aid against a pandemic that caused unprecedented disruptions in global supply chains, a sharp drop in global crude oil prices, turmoil in global stock and financial markets, massive cancellations of sporting and entertainment events, lockdowns of large swaths of people in many countries, and intercontinental travel bans/restrictions all over critical air routes around the globe.
As a result of the drop in global demand, decreased consumer confidence, and production slowdown, these developments have had significant implications for people’s livelihoods and company activity.
