Will 2025 be remembered as the year of the euro? Probably not by anyone whose profession isn’t in currency, but British people looking to buy a property in the eurozone, or moving there on a fixed income, will surely be happy that a tricky year is behind them.
The pound has weakened by 5% since the first day of last year. That’s thousands of pounds in additional costs when you extend it out to the average property purchase price. But if you would like to end the year without having to worry about the ebb and flow of markets, make sure to lock in today’s rate by calling our team on 020 8003 4915. Just a few moments now could well save you thousands down the road, and we are open until 5pm tonight.
However you plan on celebrating tonight, we have a little gift that might make any party just a bit livelier. Midnight marks the end of our festive referral scheme, so be sure to introduce your friends and family to our award-winning services for £100 in rewards for both you and whoever you refer.
2025 wasn’t all bad for the pound. After the near-constant turmoil in American economics and politics, sterling has strengthened by over 10 cents against the US dollar since January, despite a mini dollar rally overnight.
The same geopolitical concerns linger as we close out this year. Ukraine’s prime minister and Israel’s president have both made the transatlantic flight to see President Trump in recent days. Gold and other defensive assets continued to climb on Tuesday.
From all of us at Smart Currency, we wish you and your loved ones a very happy 2026. Please don’t hesitate to contract us should you wish to make a transfer at any point in the year ahead.
