Haldane Says Employment Support Program Should End Only When COVID Crisis Ends

In an interview with the Guardian newspaper, Andy Haldane, chief economist at the Bank of England (BoE), said the UK economy is still in a very deep hole, as reported by Reuters.

Haldane argued that the furlough (labor market support) scheme should only end when the coronavirus crisis ends. He added that he is hopeful that there will be a rapid rebound in economic activity thanks to the vaccine.
