Yet More Economic Downturn for the UK

Uk £ plummets further in value. I will be taking bets the experts at the bank of england increase interest rates.....compounding this deliberate economic terror.

Wont be long until many other currencies face this. And tickle me pink, CBDC will have a reason to be implemented.

You are absolutely correct here.. However, I would like to shine a light on one important detail. A falling currency means very different things to different economies.. One that exports a lot will find the value of ite exports falling, making them cheaper buyers overseas who may sense a bargain and order more from them.. That can push up productivity and support employment. On the other hand a nation that imports a lot may find an instant explosion of inflation, which puts pressure on disposable incomes and wages, leading to a loss of confidence and lower consumer spending and a collapse in employment, while interest rates make the problem worse.
Overall, a nation that supplies or makes more of its own consumables may be effected far less that either of the first two, because the costs are all contained within the borders and in the home currency. So to close. Different nations will be hit with different issues and recover at different speeds.😷
