It's Budget Day 💼 UK Chancellor Rishi Sunak stands outside 11 Downing Street with the red box, before he presents his first Budget Budget2020

Quote Message: The Bank of England has done as much as it can within its remit to support the economy.

But these measures will need to be underpinned by a government-backed credit guarantee scheme that will give banks the confidence to lend. We would expect such a scheme to be announced in the Budget later today.
