The pound continued to bleed because of the political situation after 2 revolutions known as the first Arab war, and the regime established in Egypt faced the strongest economic crisis in the history of the millenary country, it was forced to devalue the currency, since then the pound began to lose much value against the dollar that reached 15.5 Egyptian pounds, and against the euro that reached 19 Egyptian pounds.
