Namely <strong>48<\/strong>%, assess their financial stability to suffice for half a year, and another <strong>16%<\/strong> \u2013 for a year. Only <strong>2%<\/strong> of businesses report that their financial reserves have already been exhausted. These are the results of a new wave of business surveys conducted by the European Business Association.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">All the companies we interviewed have already <strong>resumed their work<\/strong>. Of them, <strong>49%<\/strong> resumed their activities in full, and <strong>51%<\/strong> \u2013 partially. Among the companies operating partially, <strong>44%<\/strong> had to reduce the geography of their activities, <strong>20<\/strong>% had to close part of the offices or retail outlets, and<strong> 18%<\/strong> had to switch to online.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The dynamics of <strong>salary payment<\/strong> by companies remain practically unchanged. Thus, <strong>61%<\/strong> continue to pay the salary in full, and <strong>28%<\/strong> do so with advance or additional payments. However, the number of companies reducing the pay rate increased to <strong>21%<\/strong>, while in May there was <strong>13%<\/strong>. At the same time,<strong> 7%<\/strong> of companies send staff on unpaid leave, and <strong>10%<\/strong> had to resort to layoffs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Supporting the employees who have joined the Armed Forces remains the #1 priority for business in the context of activities that strengthen the Ukrainian defense and social sector. Thus, 46% of companies continue <strong>to be engaged in volunteering<\/strong>, namely, 40% continue to help with products, 34% \u2013 with finances, 17% \u2013 with medicines, 16% \u2013 with services, and 15% \u2013 with means of protection. Although these indicators are slightly lower than in the spring, they are still significant. Only 6% have exhausted their resources for helping the country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Unfortunately, business continues to <strong>experience losses<\/strong> with each day of the war. Thus, in 5 months of russian aggression, 41% of companies suffered losses of up to 1 million dollars, 32% estimated losses in the range of 1-10 million dollars, and 18% reported losses of more than 10 million dollars.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Moreover, at least 38% suffered <strong>losses from hostilities directly<\/strong>. Of those companies whose assets were destroyed or damaged, half are still at the stage of documenting losses, 28% have turned to law enforcement agencies, and 6% have filed lawsuits in national courts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Only 8% of companies use state or <strong>international programs to support their activities<\/strong>.
