Where did you get the figure of "99% of economists would agree " .?

Is that a fact about 99 % of economists , or did you mean to say "I think most economists would agree" " ?

all a load of waffle about very little,the pig nations always has weaker currencies than germany,if that figure of 6% is correct then i would say those nations have made up ground on germany compared to their old units of currency which the marl used to batter,another question where do france,holland,belguim,luxembourg,ireland stand on this issue or is it just the usual lets blame germany for everything,i dont recall those nations accusing germany of foul play.

That is right.

And what does that mean for the UK imports?

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

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

That is because it didnt .

It went from 51 Baht on the 22nd June 2016 , referendum was on the 23 rd June and on the 24 th June , the GBP/Baht exchange rate was  48 Baht.

   Once again, your figures are not correct

Breaking News

France has recalled its Ambassador to Italy after what it described as "baseless attacks" on its Political Leaders.

Its unprecedented for an EU member to recall the Ambassador of another member state.

The EU have a lot more to deal with than Brexit.

Is this the start of the implosion?

With all the existing problems in the EU / Eurozone, then if they lose one of the 'big four' economies in their club without any kind of a deal, I think it's highly likely the Euro will take a tumble. 

so why are the currency traders waiting for a no deal/bad deal to send the pound crashing again?  and dont so project fear beause this is the one thing that will be correct,the same as it was last time,iam aware of other things being hyped up but this one is not,even if the euro was due to fall the traders would try there best not to let it happen to protect the union,the pound it would not be too bothered about,as the saying goes no player is bigger than the club

???????????? Bloomberg,a post war low,well they must of been the best of buddies for 74 years if thats all it takes to start a spat.

This attitude is so typically French isn't it?

Macron doesn't like the Italians interfering in French politics by getting cosy with the Yellow Vests but feels it's ok for himself to appoint the next President of Venezuela.

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
