Avoiding a currency war 13 Mar¹ 2015

Fri, 13 Mar 15

This week the pound's been at a seven year high against the euro, but a 12 year low against the dollar. Interest rates are being cut around the world and new money is being created in bucketloads in Europe. We'll ask if there's a global currency war brewing² - and who stands to win and lose. Plus TSB has had a 1.7 billion pound takeover offer from Spanish bank Sabadell and the F1 season gets under way in Australia this weekend - we'll ask if the sport is quite as rich as it looks.
