The London Interbank Offered Rate is known under the name of LIBOR. It is the most active interest rate market in the world, and that is why LIBOR applies not only to the Pound Sterling, but also to major currencies such as the US Dollar, Swiss Franc, Japanese Yen and Canadian Dollar.
LIBOR is determined by rates that banks participating in the London money market offer each other for short-term deposits, and it is used in determining the price of many other financial derivatives.

1) Why do countries have currencies with different values to each other?

The relationship of one country's currency to another is different, based on the country's economy and political stability. Those factors are changing constantly. If a country has a strong economy, the money it makes is worth more in relation to the currency of a country with a weak economy.

1) Why do countries have currencies with different values to each other?

After Nixon ended the convertibility of gold and the USD, which was the standard under the Breton Woods Agreement, different currencies became independent of each other. Since a variety of currencies were no longer bound to the USD, economic differences between nations led to fluctuations in currency value.

2) How does a nation gain and / or lose when the value of their currency fluctuates?
