The FINANCIAL — The European single currency advanced against the dollar on Wednesday, ahead of a widely-expected steep interest rate cut from the US Federal Reserve. In Georgia Euro rate was fixed on GEL 1.8068 after its lowest level 1,74 on October 27.
“The demand increased for dollars on the international financial markets. For this reason euro was jumping up and down during the last two weeks. But as it seems the euro is on its way of recovering,” said David Amaglobeli, the President of National Bank of Georgia(NBG).
So if you’re going to Europe it’s the best chance for you to buy as many euros as possible because euros’ rate won’t stay so low for long.
