GBP Historical Series

The Bank of England does not publish any historical file, but historical data since 1999.01.02 can be retrieved from the calendar month by month.

Economic relevance

The United Kingdom (UK) is the 6th largest economy in the world and the second largest in Europe after Germany. Now no longer a member of the European Union, the UK still is a member of the Commonwealth, the G7 and the G20, as well as other international organizations.

The City of London is the world’s largest financial centre. Heir to the British Empire, the UK has strong economic links with all English-speaking countries and especially with the USA. As a result, the pound sterling (GBP) is the 4th most traded currency and the 3rd most held reserve currency in the world (after the US dollar and the euro).

foxer includes the Bank of England (BOE) plug-in by default, making it possible to bring users all the daily and historical official pound exchange rates.
