Pound set to fall below dollar as sterling crashes again

Fall comes after UK mini-budget saw huge tax cuts

The value of sterling is expected to parity with the US dollar by the end of November, and then fall to just $0.97, according to the latest forecast from bank Nomura.

By the first quarter of 2023, sterling would be worth $0.95, the bank says.

By Monday morning the pound had hit a 37-year low, falling to all-time lows against the dollar at below $1.04.

It is widely expected that UK interest rates will have to rise as a result.

On Monday afternoon, one pound sterling was trading at AED3.97 – below the AED4 for the first time in weeks, with the Euro worth just AED3.55.

The drops mean that expats living in the UAE will see a huge increase in the value of any monies sent back to Europe.
