Ym mis Medi, cyhoeddodd Gweinidog yr Economi Ken Skates y byddai £140 miliwn ar gael fel rhan o drydydd cam Cronfa Cadernid Economaidd Llywodraeth Cymru.


Fodd bynnag, o ganlyniad i’r cyfnod atal byr a fydd yn dechrau ddydd Gwener, 23 Hydref ac yn para tan ddydd Llun 9 Tachwedd pan fydd gofyn i amrywiaeth o fusnesau gau eu drysau neu leihau eu gweithgareddau, caiff cam diweddaraf y gronfa fwy na’i ddyblu i sicrhau bod rhagor o help ar gael i fusnesau ledled y wlad.


Mae’r Gronfa Cadernid Economaidd, sy’n ategu cynlluniau cymorth Llywodraeth y DU, yn rhan o becyn cymorth o £1\.7 biliwn gan Lywodraeth Cymru i helpu busnesau Cymru i ddelio ag effeithiau economaidd y coronafeirws.


Dywedodd Gweinidog yr Economi Ken Skates:



> Rydym ni yn Llywodraeth Cymru yn gorfod gwneud penderfyniadau pwysig i arafu’r coronafeirws a diogelu ein GIG ac iechyd ein pobl. Ond rydym yn gwbl ymwybodol bod y penderfyniadau hyn yn cael effaith ar ein heconomi ac ar ein busnesau yn ystod blwyddyn sydd eisoes wedi bod yn neilltuol o anodd iddynt.
> 
> 
> Rydym wedi bod yn trafod yn hir ac yn fanwl gyda’n partneriaid busnes am effaith barhaus y coronafeirws ac effeithiau’r cyfyngiadau’r rydym yn gorfod eu gosod i arafu ei ledaeniad.
> 
> 
> Un neges rydym yn ei chlywed yn glir yw bod busnesau am gael eglurder er mwyn gallu cynllunio a pharatoi, a bod angen pecyn clir o gymorth arnynt i helpu i oroesi’r cyfnod anodd hwn.
> 
> 
> A dyna yn union y bydd y pecyn cryfach hwn o gymorth sy’n dyblu trydydd cam y Gronfa Cadernid Economaidd ac yn cael arian yn gyflym i’n busnesau i’w helpu trwy’r cyfnod atal byr hwn a thu hwnt, yn ei wneud.


Dyma fydd yn y pecyn economaidd newydd a chryfach hwn:


* Taliadau o £1,000 i fusnesau sy’n gymwys am y cymorth ardrethi i fusnesau bach â gwerth ardrethol o £12,000 neu lai.
* Taliadau o hyd at £5,000 i fusnesau adwerthu, lletygarwch a hamdden sy’n gorfod cau ac sydd â gwerth ardrethol o rhwng £12,001 a £50,000\.
* Grant chwyddo dewisol o £2,000 i fusnesau sydd wedi gorfod cau dros y cyfnod atal byr neu y bydd y cyfnod atal wedi cael effaith faterol arnynt.
* Grant dewisol arall o £1,000 i fusnesau y cafodd y cyfyngiadau lleol effaith faterol arnynt am 21 niwrnod neu fwy cyn dechrau’r cyfnod atal byr.


Mae Llywodraeth Cymru’n darparu £20 miliwn arall ar gyfer Grantiau Busnes sy’n golygu y bydd £100 miliwn ar gael at y diben hwn. O’r blaen, roedd disgwyl i fusnesau allu darparu canran o’r cyllid er mwyn gallu hawlio’r grantiau hyn, ond mae 


Llywodraeth Cymru wedi cadarnhau bellach y bydd yn darparu 100% o’r grant i fusnesau sydd wedi cael eu gorfodi i gau yn ystod y cyfnod atal byr.


Ychwanegodd y Gweinidog:



> “Trwy ddyblu trydydd cam y gronfa, rydym yn neilltuo bron i £300 miliwn o gymorth ariannol i’n cyflogwyr bach a chanolig ac i fusnesau yn y sector lletygarwch, twristiaeth a hamdden sy’n gorfod cau’u drysau dros y cyfnod atal byr.
> 
> 
> “Bydd hynny’n golygu y bydd £150 miliwn yn ychwanegol yn mynd yn syth i goffrau busnesau Cymru i’w helpu i dalu eu biliau ac i wrthsefyll yr wythnosau a’r misoedd anodd o’n blaenau.
> 
> 
> “Mae’r Gronfa Cadernid Economaidd, a gafodd ei chreu i gau’r bylchau ym mhecyn cymorth Llywodraeth y DU, eisoes wedi bod yn allweddol wrth amddiffyn cwmnïau ledled Cymru rhag effeithiau difrifol y coronafeirws, gan ddiogelu rhagor na 100,000 o swyddi.
> 
> 
> “Bydd y cyhoeddiad hwn, sydd unwaith eto’n ychwanegol at yr hyn a gynigir gan Lywodraeth y DU, yn helpu i sicrhau bod llawer o fusnesau Cymru’n gallu cadw eu pennau uwchlaw’r dŵr, cynllunio ar gyfer y dyfodol a diogelu’r swyddi y mae’n cymunedau’n dibynnu arnynt.
> 
> 
> “Bydd y gronfa’n agor wythnos nesaf a byddwn yn gweithio’n galed i gael yr arian i fusnesau mor gyflym ag y gallwn ni.”

In September, the Economy Minister Ken Skates announced £140 million would be made available under the third phase of the Welsh Government’s Economic Resilience Fund.


However as a result of the firebreak, which will begin on Friday 23 October and continue until Monday 9 November and will require a range of businesses to temporarily close their doors or reduce their operations, the latest round of the fund will be more than doubled to ensure further help for businesses across Wales.


The Economic Resilience Fund, which complements support schemes available from the UK Government, is part of the Welsh Government’s £1\.7 billion support package for businesses to help deal with the economic impacts of coronavirus.


Economy Minister Ken Skates said:



> As a Welsh Government we are having to make important decisions to help slow the spread of coronavirus and protect both the stability of our NHS and the health of our people. However we absolutely recognise that these decisions do have a knock on effect on our economy and our businesses during what has already been an incredibly difficult year for them.
> 
> 
> We’ve been speaking at length and in depth with our business partners about the ongoing impact of coronavirus and the effect of the restrictions we are having to implement to slow its spread.
> 
> 
> One of the messages we have received loud and clear is that businesses want certainty so that they can plan and prepare, and that they need a clear package of support to help them through this difficult time.
> 
> 
> This enhanced package of support, which will see us doubling the third phase of our Economic Resilience Fund and quickly getting money out to our businesses to support them through this firebreak and beyond, is designed to provide just that.


The new and bolstered economic package will see:


Payments of £1,000 for businesses that are eligible for Small Business Rates relief and occupy a property with a rateable value of £12,000 or less.


* Payments of up to £5,000 for retail, hospitality and leisure businesses that are required to close and which occupy a property with a rateable value of between £12,001 and £50,000\.
* A discretionary £2,000 top\-up grant for businesses closed or materially affected by the firebreak lockdown.
* A further discretionary £1,000 grant for businesses that were materially affected by local lockdown measures for 21 days or more prior to the start of the firebreak lockdown period.


Welsh Government is also providing a further £20 million towards business grants meaning £100 million will be available for this purpose.


Previously, companies were required to provide a percentage of the funding to access these grants, but Welsh Government has now confirmed it will provide 100% funding for businesses forced to close during the firebreak.


The Minister added:



> “By doubling the value of this phase of the fund, we are making almost £300 million available to provide more financial assistance to our small and medium employers and to businesses in the hospitality, tourism and leisure sector that must close their doors during the firebreak.
> 
> 
> “This means an additional £150 million going direct to Welsh firms to help them cover their bills and increase their resilience to help them through the challenging weeks and months ahead.
> 
> 
> “The Economic Resilience Fund, which has been designed to plug the gaps in the UK Government’s support package, has already been crucial in protecting companies across Wales from the severe impacts of coronavirus, safeguarding more than 100,000 jobs.
> 
> 
> “This announcement, which is again in addition to the offer from UK Government, will help ensure that many Welsh businesses can keep their heads above water, plan for the future and protect the jobs on which our communities rely.
> 
> 
> “The funds will open next week and we will work hard to get money out to businesses as quickly as we can.”
