You also realize that the UK imports more than exports? too many on here dont like to accept that fact,the most basic of economics is if you import more than you export than a stronger currency is almost certainly the better option,its a no brainer,i wonder if some of these ever went to school Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bomber Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 1 hour ago, samran said: Simplistic thinking. A currency devaluation to stimulate your economy isn’t all that it is cracked up to be. A lower pound means imports are more expensive, which will impact CPI. Local producers of the same product are more than likely just to put up their prices to match the imported benchmark. Double whammy. And just because your exports are cheaper means naught if you have limited access to markets. So you replacing seamless access to 400m people on your doorstep with customers elsewhere. Think: - longer supply chains and more shipping costs - tariffs in the destination country which will wipe out any currency advantage - non tariff barriers which will mean that that Stilton cheese which used to be easily exported to France may have to sit in port for customs checks in China or Japan, negating any freshness benefits. - quotas, where you just can’t sell any more than a certain limit per year. so, yes yes, I know project fear, blah blah blah and that dogged British bulldog stiff upper lip which achieved victory over the Huns. They need us more than we need them etc etc will sort things in a jif so not to worry, and you’ll carry on. ive been trying to tell the brexit fans this on here for months,they just dont understand or if they do they wont admit it,its anti british as they think the pound is some rival of the swiss franc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was not "slightly out" at all , my figures were completely correct . Your were not "slightly out" either , your figures were way off the mark . Now you have changed the dates to comply with what you stated . You have changed from just before and immediately after , too a few weeks before and a few days after . The GBP also went down to 45 Baht in 2013 .and its currently low due to the strong Baht and the uncertainty about Brexit , once the Brexit uncertainty has been sorted out , the fiancial markets will know whats going on and the Pound may rise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
