Supply Market Analysis: Changes in Government Policies and Implications at a Country-level
United Kingdom
Due to the rising number of confirmed cases, the UK government has taken a range of measures including travel restrictions, closures of entertainment, and social distancing. Government has declared £27 billion to support businesses including small firms in the most-impacted sectors. Bank rate has been reduced to 0.1 percent and additional incentives for SMEs have been introduced. The UK countercyclical buffer rate has also been reduced to 0 percent to help companies across different categories.
