Why the United Kingdom is cheaper now?
The British pound has faced the lowest levels for 2,5 years on the fears of no-deal Brexit. After Boris Johnson was elected for the position of Prime Minister and declared that Brexit would happen either with or without deal, British currency fell dramatically.
Investors see less need in pound in future, probably because London would lose its importance as global financial center. Due to the fact that Britain imports more than exports, the effect of pound drop will be very negative for the economy.
After the decision made, it has brought some clarity to investors. But during the pandemic GBP has grown back on the hopes of faster economical increase in comparison with EU.
Pound Sterling has gained more than 4% in comparison with Euro and gained more than 2% with USD.
Inflation rate is 0.7% and EU inflation is 0.9%.
