webfact Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 British pound continues to do well against the baht - rise against dollar is the reason, says UK media File photo British expatriates in Thailand are likely to have been encouraged recently by an improvement in the Baht/British pound exchange rate. One site listed the rate as 40.7 baht to the pound. Super Rich stated that it was 40.6 today. The last six months' average was 39.8. The previous high was 41.2 in February and the low was 37.5 on March 19th. Sky News' Business Editor Ian King stated yesterday that the pound had enjoyed a sharp improvement against the dollar in recent weeks. This appears to be the reason for the baht's movement against the Thai currency. -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2020-08-04 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Logosone Posted August 4, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2020 The pound has regained its pre-Covid true value. However, that was purely because the USD fell like a limp exhausted organ, and has nothing to do with the UK economy. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scammed Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 (edited) i saw republicans & democrats are at it again conjuring up more welfare through quantitative easing schemes, and with the other hand banning people from going to work/school/resturants, the result can only ever be a falling dollar Edited August 4, 2020 by scammed 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JusticeGB Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Not surprising with an election in the USA coming up which Sleepy Joe and the Radical Left are likely to win. Their policies will decimate an already disastrous USA economy. The UK seems to be recovering better even though the covid19 pandemic hit the UK hardest. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post smudger1951 Posted August 4, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2020 The Thai baht remains strong in spite of all it's problems because it has huge foreign exhange reserves apparently. Whereas UK has thrown everything at supporting the economy through this pandemic and will take years to balance the books. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we've seen recently the GBP THB price is largely determined by the GBP USD price, ie whether the USD falls or not. It looks like the Thai economy is not as important as whether the USD falls or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
