The British government and the central bank joined forces on Thursday to provide further support to an economy facing a difficult winter following the imposition on the same day of new CCP virus lockdown measures for England.
The Bank of England (BoE) increased its monetary stimulus by a bigger than anticipated £150 billion ($195 billion) just hours before Chancellor Rishi Sunak announced the extension of the Job Retention Scheme, often called the furlough scheme.
