NHK WORLD RADIO JAPAN - February 27 (Podcast)

The Japanese government is studying additional measures to prop up the tourist industry and smaller businesses hit hard by the spread of a new strain of a coronavirus known as COVID-19.
Officials have already come up with a one hundred forty million dollar package to fight the outbreak.
They're now planning to use reserved funds from this year's national budget to take additional measures.
The priority will be to help medium-sized and small businesses raise funds.
The officials want to expand the current credit guarantee system.
It covers about one hundred fifty types of businesses, including cement manufactures and liquor retailers.
Discussions are now underway to add hotel and tour bus operators to the list.
The system makes it easier for smaller businesses to get loans from financial institutions.
It's aimed at firms whose sales dropped by more than five percent year-on-year due to unusual circumstances.
コメントありがとうございます。
もう一回聞いてみたら、確かにreserve fundsでした。
辞書で引いてみた結果(https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/reserve-fund)を見ても間違いなさそうです。
複合名詞みたいなものかと思って調べてみたら、reserveって形容詞としても使われるんですね…知りませんでした(eg.reserve team)。
これからも多分ディクテーションを続けていくと思うので、またご指摘いただけますと幸いです。
Thank you very much for your insightful advice!
