Germany plans aid package for self-employed, small businesses - source

Germany is planning a 40-billion-euro ($43.27 billion) package to help small businesses and the self-employed threatened with bankruptcy by the coronavirus crisis, a government source said on Thursday.

Ministers have not yet signed off on the rescue package which could yet exceed the 40-billion-euro mark, the source said.
