Reuters reports 'Sterling a problem for G7'

Could this be a potential Euro entry by the back door?

The fall in value of the pound is a problem for mainland Europe and will be added to regular talks on exchange rate issues when G7 finance ministers meet in February, a G7 source said on Wednesday.

Speaking on condition of anonymity, the source also said that the situation on currency markets in general had not reached crisis levels and that there was no need yet for verbal intervention to try to influence exchange rates.

"The pound is depreciating. It is obviously a problem for Europe," said the source, who has first hand knowledge of preparations for the meeting.

"It's an economic problem. For the moment this does not affect us financially."

Asked specifically about the G7 talks that are due to take place on Feb 14 in Rome, the source said:

"Normally we talk about the dollar, yen, and the euro but this time we'll be talking about the pound as well."

In the past year, sterling has lost around 30 percent versus the dollar, 20 percent versus the euro and more than 40 percent versus the yen, according to Reuters data.

Such depreciation gives British exporters an edge in price competition with rivals in world markets.

"We need to talk with the UK about the depreciation of the pound, which is a problem for us, and with Japan about constant rumours of (Japanese) intervention. The idea is to try not to make the crisis worse through exchange rates," the source said.

It sounds like they're worried that we might take some of their exports from them. :P

Old Brownie boy has been saying for a while now that global problems require global solutions.

It's clear and obvious that we'll enter the Euro pretty soon, as and when the pound aint worth a dime
