The government is reportedly considering extending its Covid-era Recovery Loan Scheme for small businesses to assist businesses struggling with rising costs and border supply issues. However, the EU’s temporary state aid framework – which allowed the bloc to relax some of its rules during the pandemic – is set to expire on June 30.
