The plan is aimed at boosting customer confidence and at encouraging spending within the market once again. Some of the money that is being pumped in will be used for job training, less polluting cars, and improving energy links and broadband access.

Aid to small and medium enterprises over the next two years would be increased from 10 to 30bn euro’s.
