Sterling doing well!
Sterling doing well!
Currently at 1:15 against the euro, and at a 3 year high against USD.
Doubtless I will be moving this to the politics section in a short while, but I thought it deserved a general airing first.

It fluctuates all the time, however it is still high at the moment.
All things are possible

Re: Sterling doing well!
It will fluctuate Companies will need to buy or sell Euros which they will put through Banks dealing rooms, these dealing rooms will be speculating throughout the day as where they think Sterling / Euro will be going with the information they receive

If you are pedantic enough to point out a .0041 difference to what was originally stated you should expect comment – And the comment was meant in humour hence why I mentioned HIC – If this has offended you then I apologise but I suspect that you have made similar comments previously and obtained a reaction that went against your grain hence your reason for not posting so often – You should try and lighten up a bit and take life less seriously.

Re: Sterling doing well!
Apparently one reason for the weaker euro is the fact that the UK government no longer needs to buy euros to pay over to the EU.........................just saying !!!!!!!!!!!

I was a currency broker for 15 years I take an interest in the currency market, its not being pedantic, 40/50 point movement in the currency is significant, especially if you happen to be exchanging sterling for euros, as far as I am concerned that’s the end of it.

That’s fair comment – However when I and I suspect many others go to have currency exchanged it is done to Two Decimal Places – ie 1.14 or 1.15 Your man at the harbour is not into Quantum Physics and indeed most Banks will have the exchange rate on the boards to two decimal places but whatever floats your boat – I bet your fun to go shopping with for a tin of beans or whatever.

Re: Sterling doing well!
Couple of problems with the improvement in exchange UKP/Euro rates at present.
1. If it continues it might well affect the amount of income tax payable on pensions and earned income for the 2021 tax submissions in 2022.
2. Right now those who earn Euro locally or sell property and are looking to transfer money back to UK won't be getting quite as many pounds in their wallets.
Of course every penny counts to somebody whichever side of the coin you spin.

Did you not notice the massive slump in 2008? Did Brexit cause that too?Happy in Cyprus wrote: ↑Tue Feb 16, 2021 1:58 am In case you hadn't noticed, the major slump in GBP came about in 2016 after the Brexit ref. was first announced.

He agreed that because Brits can no longer (easily) move to Cyprus to live, work or retire, home sales to Brits will be much reduced in future.

sorry for off topic.
might be good for cyprus then, less winging brits here that think they know it all, how many times we meet English, they say this an that, we go to the proper sources an most times they wrong.
can only be better for expats rate rising as some are quite poor, example husband/wife deceased.

Re: Sterling doing well!

Re: Sterling doing well!
Brexit is done and dusted...get over it and move on....
Btw if we had still been tied to the EU then many more would have died due to the EU bureaucrats inability to respond quickly to safe guard the people and get enough quantity of the vaccine....

Re: Sterling doing well!
I'm guessing they now need permission from the authorities,
where as before they had an automatic right to reside and work here.
