Since April 3, bankers across the country have assisted small businesses in their communities by providing loans through the Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program . To date, small businesses have received over 4.8 million loans through the program. As the Paycheck Protection Program enters the forgiveness phase, the process should be easy, simple and less technical for small business owners who borrowed $150k or less, which account for 86% of all PPP loans. Ask your senators to support legislation to expedite the forgiveness process for most borrowers who received loans through the PPP.

Seventy-eight percent of students are planning on returning to their current school, and 68% are comfortable returning to campus this fall, according to “How America Pays for College”, the national study from Sallie Mae® and Ipsos. Just 7% of students have decided to take time off or enroll at a different school. Sixty-one percent of families believe COVID-19 will not have a long-term impact on their higher education. “While families are concerned about COVID-19, their commitment to higher education is unchanged and they don’t expect it to have a long-term impact on the student’s education.” said Jennifer Berg, Director, Ipsos, “However, it has clearly created some challenges for families. Seven in ten students found the instant transition from in-person to online in March difficult and six in ten families are concerned about how COVID-19 will impact the affordability of college next year.”

The DBA encourages Member companies to participate in a Financial Services Sector-Wide GETS/WPS Exercise on August 5-6, 2020. The purpose of the sector-wide exercise is to familiarize users with the dialing procedures necessary to make successful calls - especially during times when they may be experiencing stressful conditions. Periodic testing of these services helps ensure successful use during emergencies. Government Emergency Telecommunications Service (GETS) supports national leadership; federal, state, tribal and territorial governments; first responders and other authorized national security and emergency preparedness users. It is intended to be used in an emergency or crisis situation when landline network is congested and the probability of completing a normal call is reduced. If you have any questions about this exercise, please contact the Priority Telecommunications Service Center at 866-627-2255, 703-676-2255, or support@priority-info.com. Together, we are Delaware Financial Services Strong!

Last Tuesday, European Union leaders agreed to a €1.8 trillion ($2.1 trillion) spending package designed to support their economies during the current COVID-19 virus-induced downturn. A noteworthy part of this plan is that financing for the package will come via the issuance of hundreds of billions of euros in debt effectively backed by all member nations. In certain ways, this more closely marries the EU countries to one another, as the EU has never borrowed so much money where the individual member nations have been jointly responsible for the finances of the other members.

On July 17, 2020 the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) released the COVID-19 Recovery CISA Tabletop Exercise Package (CTEP) “to assist private sector stakeholders and critical infrastructure owners and operators in assessing short-term, intermediate, and long-term recovery and business continuity plans related to the COVID-19 pandemic.” The COVID-19 Recovery CTEP is an adaptable, discussion-based resource that takes participants through the process of responding to hypothetical scenarios regarding COVID-19 and its ongoing effects, including the issue of a potential “second wave,” to identify and address areas for improvement, threats, issues, and concerns affecting the 16 critical infrastructure sectors identified in Presidential Policy Directive 21 (PPD-21) and outlined in the National Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP). The COVID-19 Recovery CTEP was built with essential workers in mind, using CISA's Guidance on Essential Critical Infrastructure Workers as a resource to inform discussion priorities.
