Moreover, it was recently reported that BPM Johnson vowed to spend billions of pounds to help save the United Kingdom’s economy.

The Norwegian central bank’s plan was first presented in December 2019, before the coronavirus pandemic struck the economy. Hence, the government scheduled bond auctions that are worth about 55 billion crowns. According to the central bank, the uncertainty around the government’s borrowing requirements is notably higher than the normal. As for the euro, its currently receiving support from the news that one of China’s coronavirus vaccine has been proven safe in its initial trial.
