Lansiwyd y cynllun gwerth £100 miliwn gan y Prif Weinidog ddydd Llun 30 Mawrth fel rhan o Gronfa Cadernid Economaidd gwerth £500 miliwn Llywodraeth Cymru i gefnogi busnesau i ddelio gyda’r achosion o goronafeirws.


Cymeradwywyd y benthyciadau cyntaf o fewn tridiau i lansio’r gronfa, gyda’r benthyciadau cyntaf yn cyrraedd yr ymgeiswyr erbyn diwedd yr wythnos ddiwethaf.


Bydd y Banc Datblygu, sy’n rheoli’r cynllun, yn sicrhau bod y cyllid wedi’i gymeradwyo’n cyrraedd busnesau cyn gynted â phosib fel bod y gefnogaeth yn cyrraedd y busnesau hynny sy’n wynebu heriau digynsail o ran llif arian o ganlyniad i COVID\-19\.


Nawr mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn galw ar y Canghellor i “ymateb a dysgu” oddi wrth lwyddiant y cynllun a darparu cyllid ychwanegol i gefnogi busnesau ledled Cymru.                      


Dywedodd Gweinidog yr Economi, Trafnidiaeth a Gogledd Cymru, Ken Skates:



> “Rydyn ni’n deall yn llawn bod hwn yn gyfnod eithriadol anodd i’r gymuned fusnes.          
> 
> 
> “Mae cynllun benthyciadau’r Banc Datblygu wedi bod yn gwbl hanfodol i helpu busnesau sy’n wynebu anawsterau ariannol o ganlyniad i’r achosion o goronafeirws.       
> 
> 
> “Mae lefel y galw mewn ychydig mwy nag wythnos yn dystiolaeth glir bod hwn y cynnyrch priodol ar yr amser priodol. Byddai BDC yn disgwyl cwblhau tua 400 o fuddsoddiadau fel rheol yn ystod cyfnod o flwyddyn, ond mewn ychydig dros wythnos, mae wedi derbyn nifer syfrdanol o 1500 o geisiadau. Byddaf yn ysgrifennu at y Canghellor yn galw arno i ymateb a dysgu oddi wrth lwyddiant y cynllun a rhyddhau mwy o gyllid fel ein bod yn gallu lansio ail gam cefnogaeth BDC.

> “Mae hefyd yn gwbl hanfodol bod Llywodraeth y DU yn rhoi mwy o bwysau ar ddarparwyr y Cynllun Benthyciadau Tarfu ar Fusnes i gael arian allan drwy’r drws ac i bocedi busnesau. Mae’n cymryd llawer gormod o amser i gyrraedd llawer o gwmnïau a chyflawni’r hyn sydd ei angen mewn cyfnod o argyfwng ariannol.

> “Fel Llywodraeth Cymru, byddwn yn cyhoeddi manylion pellach yn fuan am y gronfa argyfwng gwerth £400m o’r Gronfa Cadernid Economaidd gyda’r nod o fod ar agor i geisiadau yr wythnos nesaf.

> “Fe hoffwn i ddiolch i Fanc Datblygu Cymru. Mae’r tîm cyfan yn gwneud popeth o fewn eu gallu, cyn gynted â phosib, i brosesu’r nifer digynsail o geisiadau am gyllid. Er bod y cynllun benthyciadau hwn wedi’i ddefnyddio’n llawn, mae’r Banc Datblygu yn parhau i gynnig cyfleoedd cyllido amrywiol i’r gymuned fusnes.”

The £100 million scheme was launched by the First Minister on Monday 30 March as part of the Welsh Government’s £500 million Economic Resilience Fund to support businesses in dealing with coronavirus outbreak.

The first loans were approved within three days of the fund launch, with the first loans reaching applicants by the end of last week.

The Development Bank, which manages the scheme, will be ensuring approved funds reach businesses as quickly as possible so support can get to those businesses facing unprecedented cashflow challenges as a result of COVID\-19\.

Welsh Government is now calling on the Chancellor to “respond and learn” from the success of the scheme and to provide additional funding to support businesses across Wales.

Economy, Transport and North Wales Minister, Ken Skates said:


> “We fully understand that this is an incredibly difficult time for the business community.
> 
> “The Development Bank’s loan scheme has been absolutely crucial in helping businesses facing financial difficulties as a result of the coronavirus outbreak.
> 
> “The level of demand in just over one week is clear proof that this was the right product at the right time. Whilst DBW would normally expect to complete around 400 investments over the course of a year, in little over a week they have received a staggering 1500 applications. I will be writing to the Chancellor calling on him to respond and learn from the success of the scheme and to release more funding so that we can launch a second phase of DBW support.
> 
> “It’s also absolutely vital that the UK Government put more pressure on providers of the Business Interruption Loan Scheme to get money out of the door and into the pockets of businesses. It is taking far too long to reach many firms and deliver exactly what’s needed in a time of financial crisis.
> 
> “As a Welsh Government, we will be announcing further details shortly on the £400m emergency pot from the Economic Resilience Fund with the aim of being open to applications next week.
> 
> “I’d like to thank the Development Bank of Wales. The entire team are doing all that they can, as quickly as they can to process the unprecedented volume of applications for funding. Whilst this loan scheme is fully subscribed, the Development Bank continues to offer a range of funding opportunities to the business community.”
