Al Jazeera English published this video item, entitled “What will be the fallout after sharp drop in sterling? | Inside Story” – below is their description.
The British pound is struggling to hold value against the US dollar after hitting an all-time low.
The fall is raising concerns about the UK’s economy and its appeal to international investors.
The new British government unveiled major tax cuts based on borrowed money, and many are concerned about the amount that is needed.
That has led to days of volatility in the value of sterling and undermined its status as a reserve currency.
What is the fallout on an already struggling economy, both in the UK and outside?
