The Coronavirus Effect

BBC Radio 4 - Money Box, The Coronavirus Effect

Fraud and coronavirus, what’s happening to wages and investments

Latest fraud figures and coronavirus scams, the impact of the falling stockmarket on investments. And what support is there for wages?

Money Box unpicks the Chancellor's announcement on support for wages and rents.

Investments have taken a massive hit over the last few weeks as the stock market has dived. We speak to one Money Box listener who thought his fund, which was nearing maturity, had been moved to a 'safer' account - only to discover it hadn't.

And the latest fraud statistics show that in 2019 fraud increased by 45%. We speak to Katy Worobec, Managing Director of Economic Crime at UK Finance, the collective voice of the banking industry.
