What assessment has the Welsh Government made of the impact of the UK Government's furlough scheme on jobs in Wales?
Ateb
Atebwyd gan Minister for Economy
The Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) (also known as the furlough scheme) was introduced and managed by the UK Government which has recently published an interim evaluation https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-coronavirus-job-retention-scheme-interim-evaluation
The Welsh Government provided several generous business support packages providing more than £1.7bn, equivalent to 2.6% of our GVA, which complemented UK schemes such as the CJRS.
