Abstract: Although banks have always been one of the engines of economic development, in such moments - a pandemic that affects the physical health of the population and the financial health of the economies - this role appears even more clearly outlined. The aim of this paper is to present the main financial government programs made available by banks from an emerging country to support its small and medium enterprises (SMEs) during the Covid-19 pandemic. The research is based on a quantitative method.
