The pound has fallen in early trading in Asia on Monday, adding to Friday's record one-day decline.
Sterling was trading at $1.3440, down more than 2% from Friday's close. Against the euro it was trading at €1.2165, down 1.3%.
On Friday the pound had its biggest one-day fall against the dollar, at one stage sinking as low as $1.3236.
George Osborne will issue a statement before the start of trading in the UK in a bid to calm the markets.
The Chancellor has not spoken publicly since the Leave campaign won Thursday's referendum.
His statement comes amid forecasts of further falls for the pound.
