摘要

One of the most striking aspects of the decade before the credit crisis was not just the strength of sterling but its stability. As recently as last November, Mervyn King, governor of the Bank of England, claimed that anyone searching for a stable trade-weighted exchange rate "couldn't do better than look at sterling". But in the past year the pound has been anything but stable as it has lurched down, most recently against the dollar.rnIn July New York shopping trips and American holidays were still in vogue for Britons as sterling remained around $2. By September the pound was trading around $1.80. In recent weeks the decline has been stomach-churning as the pound tumbled to a closing price of $1.55 on October 27th, although two days later it bounced back, ending at $1.63.rnSterling's fall against the dollar followed, and has now overtaken, an earlier fall against the euro in late 2007 and the early part of this year (see chart). Together they have driven down sterling's trade-weighted index (in which the dollar has a weight of 16.6% compared with the euro's 53 .1%) by some 15% in the past year. This index has been at its lowest point since late 1996, shortly before Labour won power.
