In response to the passage of the Emergency Coronavirus Relief Act of 2020, a second round of support for businesses and citizens dealing with unprecedented challenges in light of COVID-19, the National Retail Federation said it is "encouraged" as the relief package will "keep the economy open and moving in the right direction."

"The additional stimulus and extension of expired relief measures will help protect families, support health care providers and sustain small and independent businesses," NRF President and CEO Matthew Shay said in a statement.

"Our hope is this latest stimulus will be a down payment on economic relief next year," he added.
