The £ was not freely convertible until Margret Thatcher abolished Exchange controls in 1979, a far more important reason to hold non UK assets.

Somehow contradictory?

If people were bothered then nterest rates would rise until the currency was at the desired level. Currently interest rates are 2% below the rate of inflation......., so your being paid 2% to borrow money.

Strong pound and his business is on the back foot, right? | | | | | Most business's will benefit from a weaker pound as profits will be higher in pounds & the share price will rise accordingly. SNB has spent billions trying to devalue the CHF, although it has been more successful recently.

That's exactly the situation since the vote:
net zero tariffs coupled with a weaker pound.
So how has the UK's car industry been doing the last two years?

Remember VW/AUDI group sell more cars to the UK than to the USA & Japan combined, not bad for a little island.

Maybe there'll be a glut of astonishingly cheap, post Brexit Aston Martins up for grabs so every cloud, and all that...  | | This user would like to thank Sandgrounder for this useful post: | |

Zero tariffs on either side now equals net zero tariffs, the same result Palmer expects when he says that those from a no-deal Brexit would "even itself out".
Inded the same net situation.

Tarrif's & currency loss will be paid almost entirely by VW/Audi if they wish to maintain their sales.
Car prices have not increased by 20% to compensate for losses in the £ value since the BREXIT vote......
Shop prices have bee falling for over 5 years & rising 0.1% last month for the first time since April 2013. https://www.theguardian.com/business...han-five-years | |
