Ka-ching!
It seems every time you turn on a TV or radio, open a news webpage or paper you're faced with stories of market volatility and articles which alternate between optimism and gloom. The fluctuating conditions in the foreign exchange market can have a real impact on the many foreigners living in, or owning property in Belgium, directly affecting the rate of regular payments such as pensions and overseas mortgages, and even the value of an investment.

In its Financial & Legal section, AngloINFO has a number of INFOrmation Pages dedicated to the subjects of finance, currency markets and current international exchange rates which may give you useful tips or guidance. Specifically, you can refer to the pages on:
- Foreign Exchange Options
- Exchange Rates - for real-time currency conversion rates between the world's major currencies.
Meanwhile The AngloFILE directory of local English-speaking businesses and services lists specialists in currency exchange, as well as those offering more general financial services and consultancy. See the category, Foreign Exchange & Currency Transfer.
In the AngloINFO Newsroom you can track the latest reports from the international business press in the section on Breaking Financial Markets News. And if the jargon has you confused, see the Glossary of Foreign Exchange Terminology.
Finally, the AngloINFO Financial & Legal Discussion Forum provides a place where you can ask the opinion of others living locally on matters of money, or share some useful information of your own.
