Welsh Government is getting an additional 拢650 million to support businesses and public services affected by coronavirus.
The 海角视频 Government has provided the money through the Barnett formula due to spending commitments made in England.
It brings the total extra funding allocated to Wales since the start of the pandemic to 拢5.85 billion.
Welsh Government welcomed the extra money but said this was at the "eleventh hour" and just days before they were announcing final spending plans.
Businesses will now hope this will lead to extra support in the coming weeks while Wales is in lockdown and while restrictions are in place even after lockdown is lifted.
The 海角视频 Government said Welsh Government will be able to carry over any of the 拢650 million not spent this year into the 2021/22 financial year on top of their existing tools to transfer funding between years.
Chief Secretary to the Treasury Steve Barclay said: 鈥淲e鈥檙e committed to giving the Welsh Government the resources and flexibility it needs to tackle coronavirus and today we鈥檙e delivering an extra 拢650m boost.
鈥淲e have worked closely with the Welsh Government in advance of this announcement to ensure they have the certainty they need ahead of finalising their budget on 16 February."
Welsh Secretary Simon Hart said: 鈥淲e in 海角视频 Government have been relentless in our determination to get the necessary support to all parts of the 海角视频, and today鈥檚 announcement will top-up that support for Wales to 拢5.85 billion.
鈥淭hat is on top of all of the other 海角视频 Government support packages including the furlough scheme, the Eat Out to Help Scheme and the different business loans.
鈥淚t is important that this funding now gets to the businesses and individuals across Wales as we look to rebuild the 海角视频 economy.鈥

A Welsh Government spokesperson said: 鈥淲hile we welcome any additional funding to support our response to the pandemic, it yet again comes at the eleventh hour and just days before we are due to publish our final spending plans for the year.
"It should also be noted that this is our Barnett share of funding allocated to tackle the pandemic in England.
鈥淭he limited arrangements to carry forward additional funding falls short of the full range of additional budgetary flexibilities we have been seeking, including full access to our own reserve next year.鈥
