Thai Spice Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 IMHO it is very unlikely the GBP will raise significantly and in a short period of time after Brexit. The pound has to be kept low in order for UK export goods to be competitive compared to EU suppliers in the world and in Europe. Brexit is not going to improve UK factories productivity, salaries are not gonna be lowered, so a weak pound is about the only lever available to make UK goods competitive. Just my 2 eurocents....

Captain_B Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Just look at Travelex rates at U.K. airports , they verge on criminal , but idiots are queuing up to use them ...I believe I can shed some light on this. Many aren,t fools but are on expenses and as long as they keep their receipts they get their own currency repaid in their next paycheck. I have worked with companies like this. The guy who is travelling for company business has a completely different attitude to when he travels on his own expense. He doesn,t want to inconvenience himself by walking round the airport to save his employers money. The same guys order lobster and fillet steak on expenses, then hit Cheap Charlies when they are self funding. Not fools but a little cheeky. All tax deductable anyway. In my experience they would no longer pay for alcohol (they used to) but never queried exchange rates. I suspect many airport exchange customers are of this type.Sent from my SM-J610F using Tapatalk 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RR007 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 (edited) Hopefully it doesnt sink as far as it did in 1985 in getting close to Parity because Sterling/Baht would be around 32 today if it did Edited September 3, 2019 by RR007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horizondave Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 So what's the rate on the street guys. Noticed the £ has gained 3 cents against the $ in the last few days and Transferwise is showing 37.91 baht to the pound so might get back up to 38 very soon, maybe.....

Dollar/Baht been in very narrow range last few working days just bouncing around 30.64 interbank. Would be nice if they dropped another 0.25% off their rate and it actually weakened the Baht on this occasion Edited September 9, 2019 by RR007 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RR007 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Am just looking at Dollar/Baht and rather than weakening out its doing the opposite and gaining strength against the Greenback....at time of post right up to 30.38 interbank. Seeing how Sterling has jumped against the USD was expecting to see 38 interbank on first check for Brits but wildly off because of above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
