The Egyptian pound continues to decline against the dollar, trading at 6.972 pounds to the dollar after the central bank of Egypt's second foreign exchange auction of $38.4 million. The pound has dropped 11% in value since a currency crisis last year, and while the government tries to keep it from falling below 7 pounds to the dollar, analysts say the downward trend persists.

3. Egyptian Pound Continues Decline
 The Egyptian pound continues to struggle as a result of a currency crisis
that struck late last year. The central bank of Egypt conducted its second
foreign exchange auction, selling $38.4 million to banks around the world,
with the exchange rate remaining unchanged at 6.972 pounds on the
dollar. Foreign exchange analysts have speculated that the Egyptian
government is doing all they can to prevent the pound from falling to far
below 7.00 to the dollar, but the downward trend continues. Since the
crisis started, the Egyptian pound has dropped in value by 11 percent.
