Mae dros 178,000 o grantiau gwerth cyfanswm o £1 biliwn wedi'u darparu drwy awdurdodau lleol sydd wedi bod yn gweinyddu cynlluniau ar ran Llywodraeth Cymru gan gynnwys y cynllun Ardrethi Annomestig, y Grant Dechrau Busnes a'r Gronfa Ddewisol.


Dywedodd Gweinidog yr Economi, Ken Skates, bod y cymorth ariannol hwn wedi bod yn hanfodol i helpu miloedd o fusnesau ledled Cymru a diogelu llawer mwy o swyddi a bywoliaethau a allai fod wedi'u colli fel arall.


Mae'r cyllid yn cynnwys dros £520 miliwn a ddarperir drwy Gronfa Cadernid Economaidd Llywodraeth Cymru, gyda mwy o daliadau'n cyrraedd cwmnïau bob dydd.


Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi darparu dros £50 miliwn i sefydliadau ac unigolion drwy ei Chronfa Adfer Diwylliant.


Datgelodd y Gweinidog hefyd fod arian eisoes yn cyrraedd busnesau twristiaeth, lletygarwch a hamdden o'r gronfa benodol i'r sector gwerth £180 miliwn a agorodd ddydd Mercher, 13 Ionawr gyda cheisiadau'n cael eu prosesu'n gyflym.


Mae'r gronfa sector\-benodol yn parhau i fod ar agor ar hyn o bryd a gall busnesau ddarganfod a ydynt yn gymwys a gwneud cais drwy fynd i wefan Busnes Cymru.


Amcangyfrifir y gallai'r pecyn cymorth diweddaraf i fusnesau lletygarwch nodweddiadol yng Nghymru sydd â'r hyn sy'n cyfateb â chwe aelod o staff llawn amser fod yn gymwys i dderbyn cyfanswn o rhwng £12,000 a £14,000, sy'n golygu mai dyma'r cynnig mwyaf hael yn y DU.


Dywedodd Gweinidog yr Economi, Ken Skates:



> "Mae'r flwyddyn ddiwethaf wedi rhoi pwysau a heriau digynsail ar ein heconomi a'n busnesau.
> 
> 
> "Fel Llywodraeth rydym wedi gorfod gwneud penderfyniadau anodd, ond angenrheidiol i ddiogelu iechyd ein pobl ac rydym yn gwybod bod hyn wedi cael effaith anochel ar ein cwmnïau.
> 
> 
> "Dyna pam rydym wedi gweithio'n galed ers dechrau'r pandemig i gael cymorth ariannol i fusnesau sydd ei angen, cyn gynted â phosibl.
> 
> 
> "Mae cael mwy nag £1\.7 biliwn allan i'n cwmnïau wedi golygu ymdrech enfawr, yn enwedig gan ein hawdurdodau lleol. Hoffwn ddiolch i bob un ohonynt am bopeth y maent wedi'i wneud ac yn parhau i'w wneud i'n cefnogi i ddiogelu busnesau.
> 
> 
> "Ein pecyn cymorth, sy'n ychwanegol at yr hyn sydd ar gael gan Lywodraeth y DU, yw'r pecyn cymorth mwyaf cynhwysfawr a hael i fusnesau, unrhyw le yn y Deyrnas Unedig.
> 
> 
> "Byddwn yn parhau i ymgysylltu'n agos â'r gymuned fusnes drwy'r cyfnod anodd hwn ac yn gwneud popeth o fewn ein gallu i'w cefnogi.

More than 178,000 grants totalling £1 billion have been delivered through local authorities who have been administering schemes on behalf of Welsh Government including the Non\-Domestic Rates scheme, Start\-Up Grant and the Discretionary Fund.


Economy Minister Ken Skates said this financial assistance has been crucial in helping thousands of businesses throughout Wales and protected many more jobs and livelihoods that might otherwise have been lost.


The funding includes over £520 million provided through Welsh Government’s Economic Resilience Fund with more payments reaching firms daily.


Welsh Government has provided in excess of £50 million to organisations and individuals through its Culture Recovery Fund.


The Minister also revealed that money is already reaching tourism, hospitality and leisure businesses from the £180 million sector specific fund which opened on Wednesday, 13 January with applications being processed quickly.


The sector specific fund currently remains open and businesses can find out if they are eligible and make an application by visiting the Business Wales website.


It is estimated that under latest the package of support a typical hospitality business in Wales with the equivalent of six full\-time staff could be eligible to receive between £12,000 and £14,000 in total, making it the most generous offer in the UK.
