GBP/RON

The pound Sterling to Romanian leu exchange rate has the abbreviation GBP/RON, and is classed as an exotic currency pair. GBP is present in 13% of all daily forex trades and on average US$649 billion worth of GBP is traded every single day, making it the fourth most-active currency on the planet.

The Romanian leu the 34th most-active currency, accounting for just 0.1% of average daily turnover.

Recently, political factors have seen their influence over pound pairings grow. This is because the Brexit referendum, which resulted in the UK voting to leave the EU, has created significant uncertainty regarding the UK economic outlook. The monetary policy outlook is also key - after nearly ten years the Bank of England has begun to raise interest rates.

Romania is an emerging market economy and is one of Europe's poorest nations. The country wanted to adopt the euro, but has so far failed to meet the criteria. GBP/RON appreciates in times of market uncertainty.
