International Reserves in United Kingdom
United Kingdom - International Reserves
The most recent economic data points to a severe recession as the nationwide lockdown depresses domestic demand, and similar measures abroad hurt exports. The composite PMI fell to a fresh record low in April on weaker manufacturing and services sectors, while retail sales plunged in March as shops closed. Consequently, the previously-solid labor market is crumbling: 1.8 million benefit claims were made from the start of March to mid-April, with millions of workers temporarily laid off. In response to the downturn, the government has recently announced 100% state-backed, fast-tracked loans for SMEs, on top of previous measures such as 80% wage subsidies, extra credit provision and tax deferrals. However, stimulus will not prevent a recession.United Kingdom - International Reserves Data
