In general, discuss the current impact of Brexit to the movement of EUR and GBP. (especially after UK leave EU)
When the euro was introduced in 1999, Greece was conspicuously absent from the list of the European Union member countries adopting the common currency. The country was not ready. In a few short years, however, European leaders, probably motivated by their political agenda, allowed Greece to join the euro club in 2001 although it was not entirely clear if the country satisfied the entry conditions. In any case, joining the euro club allowed the Greek government, households, and firms to gain easy access to plentiful funds at historically low interest rates, ushering in a period of robust credit growth. For a while, Greeks enjoyed what seemed to be the fruits of becoming a full-fledged member of Europe. In December 2009, however, the new Greek government revealed that the government budget deficit would be 12.7% for 2009, not 3.7% as previously announced by the outgoing government, far exceeding the EU’s convergence guideline of keeping the budget deficit below 3.0% of the GDP.

- The European Union; Globalization; Strategy The European Union (EU) is made up of 28European countries that are bound together by trade and political agreements. The broad goal of theEU is to create an economic and political union that will foster common economic goals and politicalstability. The EU has achieved many of these goals over the last few decades but concerns in recentyears about immigration and economic inequality have caused problems. Starting with the July 2016vote in the UK to leave the EU (this vote has been called Brexit), other countries (including theU.S.) have seen the growing prominence of anti-globalization efforts. Some have called this a time of“economic nationalism.” These efforts have the effect of driving countries to reconsider or removetrade agreements and to restrict immigration from other countries.Leaders of countries around the world have responded in various ways.

The United States claims that Airbus received $6 billion in loans that do not need to be repaid to support the research, development, and launch aid for the Airbus 380 Super-jumbo. These charges and countercharges at the World Trade Organization pertain to whether either firm is “dumping” the 787s and 380s brought to the export markets.

Years ago, when you crossed borders you had to exchange the currency you had (say, Deutschemarks) for the local currency (say, Swiss Francs). And, if you crossed back, you had to change again.
