    34. State Aid and bailouts

    34. State Aid and bailouts

    Last week, Boris Johnson refused Thomas Cook's request for financial assistance from the Government, reportedly to avoid a "moral hazard" for other failing businesses.  Yet, when Condor – a German subsidiary of Thomas Cook – requested a reported €200m of financial assistance in that same week, the German government is reported to have provided a €320m bridging loan to Condor.  What gives?

    In this podcast, we separate soundbites from State aid - and take a look at what the EU State aid rules mean for firms facing financial difficulty.
