The Government has provided unprecedented support for the economy during this crisis. This includes paying people’s wages to help keep as many people as possible in their existing jobs; loans to help support viable businesses to stay afloat; and protecting the incomes of the most vulnerable.

The Government’s aim is to maintain the productive capacity of the British economy. As the country starts to recover from coronavirus, the Government will continue to review what can be done to support that recovery.
