Following its steep slide following the interest rate decision last week (or more precisely, the more hawkish messages on inflation coming from the European Central Bank) sterling has been struggling to gain traction against the euro.
GBP/EUR remains around 1.5% down on the beginning of December but, it’s worth pointing out, still ahead of the five-year average.
With recession looming (or here already, no-one quite knows) and strikes seeming to be everywhere, against a background of the highest government borrowing ever, just announced, the mood music for sterling isn’t great, on this the shortest, darkest day of the year.
A bit of cheer then, to receive a review like this for one of Smart Currency’s staff: “Just saying thank you is not enough for Rosita Dymond. She helped me from the first minute to the end. She is very polite; helpful and professional… amazing as a person and employee. I recommended Rosita only to everyone. Once again , sincerely thank Rosita and wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.”
It really shows the value of our personal trader system. When they register, every client is assigned a highly-trained and experienced personal trader to take them through what I know is a stressful process for some, transferring the large sums required to buy a property, move abroad, or transfer their wealth from country to country.
So, thank you to Rosita, and to the client who wrote the review on Trustpilot (which I hasten to add, has similar reviews for all of our traders).
