Many of us here in the UK have financial links with Europe. A number of our pensioners choose to enjoy their retirement in the sunny regions of France or Spain, and as such their pension is transferred to the continent. In addition, there are many businesses that have links to the European economy, for example farmers who receive the Single Farm Payment. Europe is also a very popular holiday destination, and given the range of countries that have adopted the single currency the British pound to Euro exchange rate is something that affects all of us.

Unfortunately, it can be difficult for people without a financial background to fully get to grips with the complexities of currency exchange. There is a lot of jargon and a lot of factors to take into consideration, for example, inflation and interest rates, government debt and intervention and the relative strengths of other economies.

Currency Watch aims to make the world of high finance accessible to all, by providing up to the minute news in a clear and concise manner. If you are looking to increase your understanding of this field but don’t know where to start, Currency Watch should definitely be your first port of call.
