LONDON -The British government is loosening its bankruptcy rules to allow struggling businesses to continue trading if they can't pay their debts because of the impact of the coronavirus.
"These measures will give those firms extra time and space to weather the storm and be ready when the crisis ends, whilst ensuring creditors get the best return possible in the circumstances," said Mr Sharma, who hosted the government's daily coronavirus briefing because Prime Minister Boris Johnson is holed up with Covid-19.
"A framework which makes it easier for directors to keep their businesses running while complying with their creditor responsibilities, allowing them to focus on the longer term while preserving jobs in the short term, will be welcome," Mr Steve Russell, head of Business Restructuring Services at PwC U.K., said in a statement on Saturday.
