"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6743396\" data-originallang=\"en\">Just on the number and value of loans that this program has been facilitating over the last five years, we do in the order of about a billion dollars of financing each year, and that's for about 5,500 to 6,500 small businesses. It depends on the year. Some years it's a little bit higher; some years it's a little bit lower. The last couple of years it has been $1.3 billion for around 6,000 small businesses, so that's our benchmark.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6743397\" data-originallang=\"en\">As a result of these changes, we're expecting about $560 million in additional financing, and that would help an additional 2,900 small businesses, approximately, so it would be an increase of about 40% to 43% in lending.</p>",

Certaines ann\u00e9es, c'est un peu plus, d'autres ann\u00e9es, un peu moins. Ces deux derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es, il y a eu 1,3 milliard de dollars de financement r\u00e9partis entre environ 6 000 petites entreprises, et c'est donc notre point de r\u00e9f\u00e9rence.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6743397\" data-originallang=\"en\">Par suite de ces changements, nous nous attendons \u00e0 560 millions de dollars de financement suppl\u00e9mentaire, ce qui aiderait 2 900 petites entreprises de plus, environ, donc une augmentation de 40 \u00e0 43 % des pr\u00eats.</p>"
