GBP NZD Long Term

[Bjauck]

1) Some say the exchange rate reflects the relative economic performance of the two countries

2) It's also said that post-Brexit and various political turmoils over the years the British economy has struggled and some say stuffed

Below GBPNZD chart for last 5 years. Last time I was over there was 5 years ago and the rate was in low 50's

About the same today - does that mean that the NZ economy is about as stiffed as the UK economy

Turn of the century 2000, One NZD bought about 30p, today it buys 51p. Immediately before the Brexit referendum, in May 2016, One NZD bought about 45p. So on the face of it, The current generation of British pollies have been stuffing up the British currency (and economy?) more than their Kiwi counterparts.

Yes the GBP was very strong while the NZD was very weak due largely I think to the terms of trade.
Today both the GPB and NZD are at slightly weak levels comparatively,NZD slightly stronger than GBP according to numbeo's average wage calculation.
