Business confidence in the UK hit its second highest level since March 2020 last month, as furloughed staff returned to work.
According to Lloyds Bank (LLOY.L) Business Barometer, which surveyed 1,200 firms from 1 October to 15 October, overall confidence stood at 43%, a slight dip from September’s 46%, but well above the long-term average of 28%.
