Croatian kuna 'among fastest-growing currencies'

21 July 2009

The Croatian kuna is one of the faster growing currencies there are, according to new research.

In a list devised by the Post Office, Croatia came seventh, recording growth of 11 per cent, from January to June of this year.

As of June 2009, it had recorded growth of 19 per cent and was ranked at number ten.

Croatia was said to be the only Eastern European country whose currency was not struggling.

The figures were part of the Post Office's research into trends in currency purchasing, indicating that for those going on holiday Croatia is an increasingly desirable destination.

Head of travel Sarah Munro commented: "Confidence seems to be returning to the holiday market and our currency sales in recent weeks indicate that UK tourists are responding to the great-value deals available for overseas travel."

Top of the currency growing list for June was the South African rand with a 176 per cent increase.

At the current time (July 21st), one British pound is worth around 8.5 Croatian kuna.
