Ledled Cymru, mae’r gronfa wedi gweld gwerth £150 miliwn o grantiau hollbwysig yn cael eu darparu i fusnesau, gan helpu iddynt ddelio gydag effaith y coronafeirws.    


Mae dros 1,800 o fusnesau yng Nghogledd Cymru wedi derbyn cymorth drwy’r cynllun unigryrw. 


Meddai Ken Skates:



> “Mae’r cyfnod yma yn hynod heriol ac mae’r Gronfa Cadernid Economaidd wedi’i chynllunio i roi cymorth pwysig i fusnesau.

> “Roeddem am gael yr arian allan i fusnesau cyn gynted â phosibl, a hyd yn hyn yng Ngogledd Cymru mae degau o filoedd o bunnoedd wedi mynd allan, gan helpu i ddiogelu dros 14,000 o swyddi.  Cafodd y Gronfa Cadernid Economaidd ei sefydlu i lenwi’r bylchau oedd yng nghymorth Llywodraeth y DU, ac rwy’n falch bod y gronfa yn cefnogi busnesau fyddai wedi eu gadael ar ȏl fel arall.

Mae’r Gronfa Cadernid Economaidd yn rhan o becyn cymorth gwerth £1\.7 biliwn gan Lywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer busnesau sydd y cynnig mwyaf haelionus a chynhwysfawr o gymorth mewn unrhyw ran o’r DU.

Roedd ail gam y Gronfa Cadernid Economaidd, ddaeth i ben ddydd Gwener 10 Gorffennaf, yn ymestyn y cymorth i gwmnïau cyfyngedig a busnesau sydd heb gofrestru ar gyfer TAW a ddechreuodd wedi Mawrth 2019\. 


Mae’r gronfa ar wahân gwerth £5 miliwn a sefydlwyd yn benodol i gefnogi cwmnïau newydd sydd heb dderbyn cymorth gan y cynllun Cymorth Incwm i’r Hunangyflogedig yn parhau ar agor ar gyfer ceisiadau.  Bydd y cynllun grant yn cefnogi hyd at 2,000 o gwmnïau newydd yng Nghymru gyda grant o £2,500 yr un
