Pound Investors Consider Complete Lock Down<\/h2>\n

The Pound gained across the latter part of the last week after significant action from both the BoE and the UK Government to shore up the UK economy from the coronavirus impact. Last week UK Chancellor pledge \u00a3330 billion in a bailout package to support businesses through the coming months. The BoE also cut interest rates to a record low of 0.1% whilst also increasing the number of gilts purchased by \u00a3200 billion.<\/p>\n

The Swedish Krona trended lower across the previous week after the Riksbank took action to cushion the blow from coronavirus on the Swedish economy. The Swedish central bank rolled out a 500 billion krona loan plan to maintain credit to Swedish companies.<\/p>\n

However, the Riksbank has been reluctant to cut interest rates after raising them out of negative territory for the first time in 5 years, in December last year. The central bank insists that it wants to see what fiscal stimulus measures the government will adopt before taking further monetary policy decisions.<\/p>\n

With exports making up half of Sweden\u2019s economy, the government has said that they expect the fallout from coronavirus to wipe around 0.3% of the GDP.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
