British pound sinking to ‘emerging market currency’ status (Irish Times, today)

Quote
The pound is now an emerging-market currency in all but name, according to analysts at Bank of America, who say that Brexit has turned it into a mirror of the “small and shrinking” UK economy.

In the four years since the UK voted to leave the EU, trading conditions in the pound and the big swings in exchange rates make it a better match with the Mexican peso than the US dollar, said Kamal Sharma, a currency analyst at Bank of America. He said movements in the currency since the June 2016 Brexit vote had become “neurotic at best, unfathomable at worst”.

The bank’s analysts noted that the difference between rates at which investors were willing to buy and sell sterling remained bigger than in other major currencies, even after the broader market settled in the wake of the coronavirus-related panic in March.

<snip>

Traditionally, sterling has been part of the so-called G5 currency group – alongside the dollar, the euro, the Japanese yen and Swiss franc – as one of the most heavily traded and therefore safest currencies in the world.

But since the Brexit vote, uncertainties over the relationship between the UK and the EU have made investors less willing to take views on the currency, resulting in a drop in liquidity. That means that the pound can no longer be analysed according to the same framework as other major currencies, said Mr Sharma.

“The pound increasingly resembles the more liquid emerging market currencies rather than a core G10 currency,” Mr Sharma wrote in a research note to clients on Tuesday, the fourth anniversary of the UK’s referendum on EU membership.

The First Brexit kick in the Bollox by Europe .Ireland have not been included in countries you can travel from to other EU countries without quarantining on arrival .The EU say as we have an Open Border with the UK and the UK is high risk we are not included .They must be afraid Dizzeezzed Brits would fly from Gatwick to Dublin on Ryanair for a few quid then book a ticket from Dublin to Ibiza and export the Fever .

EU member states have lifted travel restrictions into the EU for 14 countries from tomorrow. The list excludes the United States, Britain, Russia and Turkey.

The decision, which comes in the form of a recommendation, confirms that since Ireland is not a member of the Schengen free travel area the measure does not apply.

The 14 countries are Algeria, Australia, Canada, Georgia, Japan, Montenegro, Morocco, New Zealand, Rwanda, Serbia, South Korea, Thailand, Tunisia and Uruguay.

Chinese residents will be allowed to travel to the EU providing Beijing introduces reciprocal measures for EU residents.

Countries qualify for the list so long as they meet epidemiological criteria. In particular, the number of new Covid-19 cases in the past 14 days and the number per 100,000 inhabitants must be close to or below the EU average as it stood on 15 June.

Countries should have a stable or decreasing trend of new cases over this period in comparison to the previous 14 days.

The qualifying criteria also include the availability of information on testing, surveillance, contact tracing, containment treatment and reporting.

The recommendation from member states is non-binding in that national capitals remain responsible for decisions on allowing third country residents in.

The list will be reviewed every two weeks.

Russia and Brazil are among countries that also did not make the initial "safe list".

Hal, now here's a true fact for you:

Jehovah Witnesses don't celebrate Halloween.

I think its because they don't like random people knocking on their doors.
