Post by: marina on June 24, 2016, 14:21:56 PM: Yes, 4Tl to the pound is still a very good exchange rate compared to what we were getting some years ago and goes a long way. Hopefully things will settle down a bit over the next week or so and it could go up a bit again.

But then again, what do i know! : :) ;)

Post by: Colwyn on July 13, 2016, 10:21:38 AM: Sounds like Turkish financiers don't trust UK currency. A 'boot on the other foot' sort of experience. The £ is creeping back up and currently at 3.84TL - but still 10% down on three weeks ago.

Post by: Colwyn on July 13, 2016, 11:03:58 AM: I'll be following closely to see if moving the Campbell fortune makes a big difference to the £/TL exchange rate.

Post by: Colwyn on July 14, 2016, 12:17:49 PM: BoE has postponed dropping interest rates. This was announced at 12.07 and gave an immediate boost to the £ against USD, EUR, TRY, etc.

Post by: Colwyn on July 20, 2016, 17:51:26 PM: USD has gone over 3.08 to the lira which, from memory, is the highest level ever. Not surprising I suppose. Even the poor old £ has been going up.
