We are updating the measure known as "60/40", under which 60 million euros in grants have already been paid and we have preserved 160,000 jobs in 9,000 companies. Applications have been submitted by another 17,000 companies for another 300,000 people. So far, we have helped companies of two or three people to companies with 2,800 employees.

Under a new, third measure for hiring of unemployed people, we will provide 80 million euros from EU funds, PM Borissov added.
