Geraldine Kilkelly, the FLA’s head of research and chief economist, said: “The fall in new business volumes in November reflects the closure of many showrooms as further restrictions were introduced to deal with rising cases of COVID-19.

“UK-wide lockdowns during the first quarter of 2021 mean that the near-term outlook remains challenging.

“The motor finance industry will continue to support households and businesses during that time and as the economy recovers, as evidenced by the £30 billion of new finance provided to them by FLA members since the pandemic began.”
