The uncertainty and scaremongering will be seen for what they and the £ will return to higher levels. Agree. Too many on TV listening to the exaggerated bollax about the BREXIT end of the world BS! The longer term it will be better for the UK and Expats! Much will be business as usual because supply chains don't get changed so easy and it is corporate suicide to change your long standing supply chain! Just like when Cola changed its recipe and lost 20% market share. Yes there will be issues but with contingency planning in place they can be managed. The EU is just a protectionist zone where sustained growth across nation states is impossible because all the members in the club are different in so many ways, be that culture, population, GDP, skills, industries, incomes, wealth, poverty, Oh and the big one DEBT, one could go on! When the EU goes down you don't want to be in it!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whyamiandwhatamidoinghere Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Well, last year I went to Phuket and it was 1 dollar = 32.8. That's a big drop to today's exchange rate of 30.8. So the pound is feeling the pinch even more with the brexit mayhem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our currency is in the bin and will be for years. Our interest rates are not going to move.

Thailand's central bank has the means with which to manipulate it's currency, I don't know how you could possibly "know" if it does or not? One week usd and baht. Look it up on any currency exchange. Thailand has not controlled the baht since 1997. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawairat Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Apparently Thailands largest export market for cars is Australia, that must eventually affect those sales. The much vaunted FTA in 2016 does not seem to have made Australian products any cheaper in Thailand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you want to check your spelling? ???????????? Seriously though I am sure that the economy will recover eventually and those who can ride it out may one day be better off. I couldn't wait that long losing money and moved my Business to mainland Europe when it was obvious that Johnson was going to win the vote. I now trade using the Euro and the US dollar. I will retire long before the UK economy recovers if we leave without a deal. If there is a deal then I might revert to the UK depending on what it is.

denby45 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 It's mainly the uncertainty that Brexit is bringing and not Brexit itself. If the remoaners hadn't scuppered the divorce then we would already have had hit bottom and been well on the way to recovery by now. Good time to buy sterling if you have spare cash available.
