GW emerging recovery 'better than expected'

[Robbienw]

Paying back the furlough money is definitely a good thing. The more companies going back to business as usual (which includes standard stuff like bonuses for staff and dividend payments) the better.  The more this happens the quicker the economy is going to recover from the massive lockdown hit.  It lessens the massive hit on the treasury finances ( our taxpayers money) so the country will still have money to pay for the normal UK budget and the chance of painful tax rises is reduced.

 

Other notable companies that have paid back furlough money so far are the likes of Ikea, The Daily Telegraph, and the Spectator magazine.
