Will the £ ever equal $?

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Spending $140 on a room is a rip off.

What did it used to be?

I'm I imagining 1.5, or possibly even higher?

At least a little good news in last hour.

The drop was always on the cards, the massive debt hanging round meant the £ was trading above it's weight for a while there. I expected some sort of rebound since the news about the economy since the whole Brexit vote has been positive for the UK. But no, still being shorted.

I'd prefer the AUD to stay over 75c tbh and atm it's looking good for the first time in a month. It could go to78-80c but later if the US increases interest rates it won't last.
