Resolved Question: Changing Euros to Pounds in the UK?

Hey all, thanks for reading. Just wondering about currency exchanges. I've just returned home from being stuck in Barcelona for 5 days longer than expected :p and i've got 150 euros left over. I'm 17, and haven't really had to deal with much to do with currency exchange. I went to the post office today, and it seems they offer a 'Buy' and a 'Sell' rate - on euro NOTES. I have 120 euros in notes and 30 euros in coins... Does that mean it's not possible to exchange the 30 euros back to pounds? And in your opinion, where is offering the best exchange rate? Thanks!

Resolved Question: The pound and the euro?

Am I right in thinking that even if the UK government wanted to join the Euro, in the words of one French journalist 'we wouldn't have you' because of the levels of UK public debt ? So that means that joining the euro is dead politics for the foreseeable future ? Another point is that wouldn't joining the euro at present rates of exchange have a depressing effect on UK savings ? Say the euro was worth 70p in 2001 (£1 = 1.43 euros) and is now worth 90p (£1 = 1.11 euros) - rough figures - then £100,000 savings in 2001 would = 143,000 euros. If my savings have increased by 20% to £120,000 in 2010, I'd be worse off (under conversion) in 2010 than I was in 2001 because my savings would now be worth 133,000 euros, not 143,000. Worse off, that is, as far as concerns the value of sterling against other currencies in terms of which it hasn't depreciated so much. But I suppose that would depend on the relative value of the euro itself against those currencies. More appears to be involved than simply being pro- or anti-Europe. Any light on the matter would be welcome.  more

Resolved Question: Help with Economics homework (part 2)?

I have been given the following exercise to complete but cannot attend the next seminar to go through the answers and get the explanations. What answers would you choose and why? Thank you! xx 6) Mr Peesely is a farmer living in Ulster (UK) in a town bordering another country, the Republic of Ireland where his friend Mr Edams farms. Mr Peesely takes a box of sausages which would sell for £100 (110 euro) in Ulster across to the Republic and exchanges the box for Irish sausages from Mr Edams’farm. He brings these sausages into the UK, to Ulster, and sells them for £120. The impact on the GDP in the UK would be the following: a. UK GDP will rise by £120 , b. UK GDP will decrease by £20, c. UK GDP will rise by £20 d. UK GDP will remain unaffected. 7) Lady Chatterley used to pay her gardener a salary of £100 thousand per year, and free accommodation in her garden shed. Having heard that Lady Chatterley has fallen on hard times having lost money in an Irish bank that has gone bust, he offers his gardening services out of love and affection, receiving no pecuniary benefit in return, and pays her £10 thousand pounds rent for the cottage where he had hitherto lived free of charge. In consequence, the GDP as recorded in the national income accounts will a. increase by £10 thousand b. decrease by £100 thousand c. neither increase nor decrease. d. decrease by £90 thousand. 8) In the fast growing economy of Solovia, some of the working age hitherto unemployed adults move away from their family homes in villages and obtain employment in cities. Their parents are left behind and the state engages village youths, also hitherto unemployed, to care for the elderly people that were previously looked after by their children. These newly employed carers are paid by raising the rate of income tax. In consequence, the national income accounts will register the following for the GDP: a. increase b. decrease c. no change. d. none of the above 9) Consider the following stylised model of the economy of Solovia at equilibrium: Y = C + S and S = I Where Y = output, C = Consumption, S = Saving, I = investment, and all of them are measured in the same currency, Solovian florint. Examining data for national income accounts, experts who have been recruited by the Office of National Statistics for having passed their first year examination in Quantitative Methods report that the consumption function is as follows: C = 1000000 + (1/4) Y REQUIRED: The parameter “propensity to consume” is (Choose the best answer from below): a. 1-0.25 = 0.75 b) ¾ c) 0.25 d) 5/4 The Keynesian multiplier is a. 1/4 b. ¾ c. 4/3 d.0.75 10) Because intermediate goods, goods that are used in the production of other goods, are excluded from GDP, the following will be excluded in measuring the GDP: a. cost of airlines tickets incurred in going on holiday. b. drinks purchased at restaurants by public relations firms to entertain their clients. c. food purchased at restaurants during holidays. d. all of the above.

Voting Question: IBAN transfer France-UK, what exchange rate applies?

I recently transferred money from my french HSBC account to my UK HSBC account. As IBAN + BIC transfers should be treated as domestic transfers according to european regulations in place since 2003, HSBC FR or UK can't charge me for sending/receiving euros from France to the UK (up to 50 000 euros). I wasn't charged a separate fee, but however I didn't get the amount of £ pound sterling I had calculated by using the yahoo exchange rate tool: http://uk.finance.yahoo.com/currencies/converter/#from=GBP;to=EUR;amt=1 When I did the transfer online, the rate was £1=€1.07 I received the money today and the rate is still about £1=€1.0706 on yahoo. But if I look at what I received, the rate HSBC applied was £1=€1.09. I end up loosing £35 in the process. I feel like they manipulated the exchange rate to still charge me a hefty fee although they are not allowed to. Can anyone explain what happened in details? Can I ask to get the proper rate and claim my £35 back? Thanks for whoever will have the expertise to answer my questions and concerns!  more

Hi:) Could you look through these paragraphs and correct my mistakes. This is a part of my coursework. Thank you so much! "To prevent large fluctuations relative to one another most nations of the European Union linked their currencies. The European Monetary System was organized in 1979 to stabilize the exchange rate. It used an Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM) to create stable exchange rates in order to improve trade between EU members. At the beginning of 1999, the same EU members adopted a single currency, the Euro. Denmark, Great Britain, and Sweden did not adopt the Euro when it was introduced. To overcome problems of exchange rate fluctuations some businesses which trade in different currencies may use some forms of futures contracts, which enables them to buy currency in advance at a guaranteed rate (fixed). It is a form of insurance and it reduces the level of risk. Some businesses may also decide to keep bank accounts in foreign currency and invest money in currency in which they buy goods to avoid exchange rate fluctuations and minimize bank charges.

The debt includes money owed to private commercial other governments, banks, or international financial institutions.

All of the countries use the Balance of payments to measure all international monetary transactions. Balance of payments is a record of a country’s transactions with the rest of the world. It is used to summarize all international transactions for a particular country during a specific time period (usually a year). If a country has received money, this is recorded as a credit, and, if a country has paid money, the transaction is recorded as a debit. The Balance of payments should equal zero, meaning that credits (assets) and debits (liabilities) should balance, but in practice this is very rare."  more

Voting Question: Could you correct my mistakes? Please?

Hi:) Could you look through these paragraphs and correct my mistakes. This is a part of my coursework. Thank you so much! "A stronger pound leads to lower import prices and increases prices at which exports are sold abroad. When the pound is strong, it is cheaper to import components or raw materials which are used in the production processes. Stronger pound is also beneficial for people who want to go abroad. From my own experience, I know that if pound is stronger you can buy more when you are abroad. When I was going through France last year, the exchange rate was 1.3 euros to the pound, which meant that I could get 1.3 Euro for 1 Pound. When I visited France this year with my class I noticed that the exchange rate had dropped down because for 1 pound I could get just a little bit over 1 Euro. It didn’t make a huge difference to me, however a business which spends thousands of pounds can benefit from it because when currency is strong it is possible to purchase more raw materials for the same price or purchase the same amount and just pay less. As I mentioned in the previous paragraph, some businesses can benefit form exchange rate, however an exchange rate can reduce profit as well. When pound is weak, it is more expensive to import goods from abroad. It is particularly important for manufacturing businesses which produce goods that based on raw materials that can only be found in different countries because weaker pound means that they can purchase less material for the same price which they use to pay. The reduction in prices will cause their costs to fall, which could lead them to reduce the price of finished goods or increase their profit margin. An increase in the exchange rate may increase the price at which exports are sold abroad and reduce the price charged for imports in the UK. For businesses which export its goods to consumers in other countries, a rising exchange rate means that they must be aware that sales are likely to fall because if would be not cost-effective for people form different countries to import goods form abroad and they may decide to find local suppliers which offer material in similar prices For a business that exports its goods to consumer in other countries, a falling exchange rate for a pound is a bonus. A fall in exchange rate can help raise the level of sale because this means that the country’s exports will be more competitive and attractive in the global market." Thank you!!!!  more

Voting Question: Could you check my grammatical mistakes? Pleaseeeeeeee?

Could you help me and check my grammatical mistakes in my writing?I know that it is quite boring to check my work but it is really important to me. Thank you for your help. "To overcome problems with trade on an international scale some countries sign Economic alliance. It is an agreement made between two or more countries. Economic alliance can allow a particular country to begin exporting to a market that has previously been protected and closed. It could also help businesses to obtain permits and financing. For some businesses, the market consists of a group of people who are close at hand (local area, close cities etc.) For other businesses the market could be anywhere in the world. For many businesses selling, importing or exporting abroad is absolutely essential. An exchange rate is one of the most important external factors which international businesses must take into consideration. An exchange rate is completely outside of a business’s control. It describes the price of one country’s currency in terms of another. An exchange rate may vary from day to day and it is a very important issue for businesses which operate internationally because an exchange rate has a huge influence on the way how the business is running. As I mentioned before an exchange rate describes the vale of a foreign currency in terms of the home currency so for example, an exchange rate of 100 EUR to the United Kingdom Pounds, means that 100 Euro is worth the same as 89 GPB."  more

Resolved Question: Logical reasons for opposing the Euro?

I realise that I am going to be in the minority but Britain joining the Euro is a good move. 1. The pound is not the major currency we think it is - The dollar, euro and yen are all much more important - even before the euro the duetchmark was more important. 2. We would not be ripped off changing our currency (today's business rate in the FT 1.148 - the retail exchange rates between 1.08 and 1.10 + commission) meaning egg and chips on the costa is 5% more expensive than if we where in the Euro. 3. I dont need the pound to prove I am British. 4. Pricing would stabilize for products we brought in and sold to Europe meaning businesses can effectively plan. 5. Prices across Europe could be priced more effectively 6. Our economy would grow. 7.

Resolved Question: Wouldn't one currency for all make things a bit easier?

I once had to visit Holland on business; I was sent by bus from London. I used my English money to buy a coffee in Dover - no problem. I needed French Francs to buy a snack in Calais - I didn't spend all the money I'd changed and wouldn't get another chance. We stopped at a motorway service station in Belgium and were told we could use any currency to buy a snack. We got our change in Belgian Francs - we would never get a chance to use them again. Boy, did the toilet attendant get a big tip that [and presumably every] day! We then arrived in Holland where we again had to change our money into Dutch Guilders. Each time a different exchange rate, each time a different commission, each time some loose change left in our pockets. Hmm, wouldn't one currency for all make things a bit easier? Imagine if you lived and worked in the the France/Belguim/Holland border zone at that time. You know, it's not just a "minor inconvenience" to change money. It's not so long ago when £69 would get you 100 Euros. These days you often see rates of £90 to get the same amount of Euros. Does anybody think that's a "minor inconvenience"? On top of that you have commission to pay. If we had Euros in our pockets - we'd just pay. No exchange rate hike, no commission fee going into an agent's pocket.  more

Resolved Question: How does Forex trading work?

So I'm looking to start forex trading (but first doing some intensive learning) and I'm just trying toi get my head around the basics. There's a few things I don't understand so I'll just shoot and you can correct me where I am going wrong. - If I buy say EUR/USD, then I am in effect buying euros in anticipation that the value will increase against the dollar? Does this mean that when I close a deal I am exchanging for Dollars at a better rate? If so, how does this money get changed back into my own currency the £, surely the exchange rate for that must be taken into consideration? I think I'm wrong on all counts there, I just need someone to go into silly detail about how currency pairs work, what I am trading, when I buy or sell and how that then comes back into my own account ijn my own currency as a profit..or loss.  more

Resolved Question: Where to exchange my currency (GBP to Euros)?

Hi there, I'm flying from Stansted to Spain this afternoon and I'm just wondering where I should exchange my pounds to Euros? Now that the rate is so bad I need to get the best possible rate. I work near a Post Office, and I guess there's a place to exchange in the airport itself - any suggestions? I've tried to find the current rates each are offering but couldn't find out - does anyone else know? Any help much appreciated, thanks! I hadn't thought of changing it over there - that might be a good idea actually!  more

Resolved Question: Why don't the public want Britain to change to Euro?

I'm not talking about the Government or the big Business men because we all know why THEY don't want to change from Pounds to Euro, I mean you, the public, the normal tax payer. People go on about "We have to keep the pound because we've had it for so long it's part of Britain" well I can tell you you are wrong. In actual fact we have had the current pound for about 20-30 years which isn't all that long if you think about it. We changed from Pounds Shillings and Pence and before that rowns guineas half crowns ect. to pounds and pence. You can say "We still had the pound before that" and you are both right and wrong. We had the NAME pound, but it was a completely different currency. There were over 200 pence in a pound. Same name, different currency. If we brought in the Euro we could call it Pound still. It's just a name. The only reason we don't have the Euro is because the government and big businessmen don't want us to realise how much worse off we are than other countries that use the Euro, because THEY would lose money. In the majority of countries using the Euro like France, Italy or Spain ect. taxes are lower, consumer products are lower priced, they are paid more for the same jobs we do here (eg. a doctor in France would get paid more than a doctor in England) and there are many other things we pay more for, and we don't realise it because of the different currency. If we changed to Euro the government and big businessmen would lose money because we, realising how bad we were doing, would make a big fuss and we would make them lower prices and pay us more. Also bringing in the Euro would get rid of those bad exchange rates whenever we wanted to go to another Euro zone country. I think we should use the Euro. Call it the Pound if you want but we should use the Euro. It's just a money! Money doesn't make you British or European, thats just how you act or feel. All the other countries didn't make such a fuss when turning to Euro. The exchange rate isn't that great at the moment, it's about one Euro for 80-90p. I have just been on holiday and that is what it stood at .There have been alot better rates but not alot worse. I'm not trying to insult you here but if you USED your brains and thought about it logically and got past all the patriotic crap then you would come to the same conclusion. Britain needs the Euro. We have friends in different countries in Europe that use the Euro and ALL of them say it is better with the Euro. I guess people have different opinions but I still think we should change to the Euro and I believe what I have said is right through people telling me, school and reading. Also friends.  more

Resolved Question: Should I exchange my currency here or in Spain?

I am going on holiday to Spain in 2 weeks, and am a little confused over exchanging my currency - some people are telling me it is better to do it here first (which is what I normally do), others say wait until I get to Spain as the exchange rate is higher, etc. Which option will leave me with more Euros?

Resolved Question: Is transferring different currencies between banks the cheapest option?

I'm an expat living in Spain, but visit the UK frequently, so have kept my UK bank account open, with the minimum amount in. I now need extra cash in the UK and the last time I visited, I took euros in cash, and transferred them to pounds sterling in the Post Office. The exchange rate was awful, so is transfer of euros from my Spanish Bank to my English Bank the cheapest option.  more

Resolved Question: Will the Pound recover from its drop against the Euro?

It is often said: "As with stocks and shares, so it is with currency exchange rates - they can go down as well as up". I don't think this is true. The Pound has reduced significantly in value over the last fifty years. Yes I am aware that the £ has a stronger bond with the (weak) $ than any other Euro country. So should we accept that as the sole reason? Britain still imports more than it exports, so it has to rely more on foreign investments. This would suggest a more stable Euro would be better for Britain. But, on the other hand the imbalance import/export doesn’t seem to matter that much these days: http://www.moneyweek.com/file/30321/the-uk-trade-deficit---does-it-matter.html  more

Resolved Question: Travel money? Where can I find the best exchange rate?

I'm going on holiday soon, and quite frankly, the pound to euro exchange rate is crap!!! I've did a search on moneysupermarket.com to find myself some travel insurance. Is there a website with the facility to search where to get the best rate on foreign currency? (i.e. similar to moneysupermarket.com?) Also, this is the link to my travel insurance search (hope it shows okay) http://www.moneysupermarket.com/travelinsurance/travelresults.asp?id=15322624 Do you think the first option at £6.74 would provide adequate cover? Why pay more, if this is suitable? I also have an E111 health card (or whatever it's called) for medical cover. I get paid on the day that I actually depart, so I'm going to use my debit card to withdraw from the ATM for the duration. I just want to take some euros with me just in case. My bank charges around 2-3% of what you withdraw for using your card, which won't be much at all.  more
