On Wednesday the Chancellor delivered a Summer Economic Update, where he announced further measures to help the recovery from the COVID-19 crisis. The following morning, IFS director Paul Johnson was joined by IFS deputy directors Carl Emmerson, Helen Miller and Rob Joyce to present their initial analysis of the trade-offs that the Chancellor has made at a free online event, focusing on support for households, businesses and public services and the impact on the public finances.
