# Pound Undervalued by 30%

> Goldman Sachs estimated that the Egyptian pound was about 30% undervalued and forecast the dollar at 53 pounds in three months, 52 in six months and 50 in 12 months, revising its forecasts higher. The bank cited improved confidence that Middle East tensions would be contained, recommended buying the pound, and said foreign holdings of local debt had declined to about $20 billion from $30 billion at September’s end.
