Abstract
The adverse effect on the economy of continued restrictions on activity and extension of government Covid support schemes for households and firms mean projections for the fiscal deficit in 2020–21 have continued to climb. But the deficit should fall later back this year as activity recovers, while gilt purchases by the BoE should keep a lid on government borrowing costs.
