Abstract

With economic activity severely disrupted by the coronavirus crisis, many governments have been supporting peoples' incomes and keeping businesses alive by means of income support programmes financed by borrowing. This paper describes how the borrowing is being done in the United States and the United Kingdom, and how central banks are in practice managing not just short-term interest rates but also yields on government bonds.
