一、选题的背景与意义 (Background and Value of the Research):
Background
The United Kingdom has been significantly impacted by the pandemic of COVID-19, the country has presented with significantly high per capita excess death rates and is also suffering from record decrease in the GDP of around 20.4% recorded at the end of 30th June 2020, this has been observed to be more than any of the G7 and EU27 countries (Ahrens & Ferry, 2021). There is no doubt that significant analysis will be provided on these conditions in the public inquiries post pandemic however, it has been observed that the pandemic has caused severe impacts for the public sector finances in the United Kingdom, resulting in falling revenues and emergency expenditures as well (Becker & Gregory, 2020). The net debt of the United Kingdom public sector has enhanced to a value of 1984 billion pounds, as recorded at the end of 30th June 2020, and it is also recorded to be the most significant percentage after the month of March 1961 (Davidescu, Apostu, & Stoica, 2021). That is most of the government of United Kingdom towards the COVID-19 pandemic has presented with dramatic economic interventions and changes, this has been recorded to be even more significant than any measure after the Second World War (Brown & Rocha, 2020). The main features of these budgetary responses have had significant impacts on the net economic deficit and the economic policy uncertainty as well as the United Kingdom policies have been designed to develop and maintain a significant connection between the organizations and the employees as well. However, the adverse impacts have led to various financial problems, so it is very important to analyze the impacts of the pandemic of COVID-19 in the context of net economic deficit and economic policy uncertainty while considering the United Kingdom (Bryce, Ring, Ashby, & Wardman, 2020; Clarkson, Culvin, Pope, & Parry, 2020).

Secondly, the study will be analyzing the impacts month wise, representing in depth impacts of the pandemic of COVID-19 on the economic conditions of the United Kingdom. Thirdly, the study will be employing latest tools and techniques in order to perform analysis, contributing to its significance and contributions towards the practice and theory as well.
