GBP will likely continue to be under pressure in the time to come – Nordea
|In the UK, rates have continued their fall on a policy U-turn. Still, economists at Nordea see more pain ahead for the British pound.
The policy U-turn will lessen the GBP blow, but it is not enough
“The proposal of the UK government – lower taxes and higher spending financed by more debt – broke havoc in the gilt markets while sending the pound in a free fall. Since then UK markets have stabilised. But it takes a long time to build up trust which can be easily lost in a moment.”
“Investors are unlikely to have strong renewed confidence in UK’s governance no matter who take over the helm – trust takes years to build, seconds to break and forever to repair.”
“The poor economic fundamentals in the UK, sky-high inflation, financial imbalances and pension funds under strain will continue to weigh upon the pound.”
