AED to GBP 2026 Forecasts

Analysis of recent United Arab Emirates dirham → sterling forecasts for 2026. We collate forecasts from respected FX analysts together with the latest United Arab Emirates dirham to British pound performance and trends.

 

The current market bias for the AED to GBP exchange rate is bearish.

Key drivers include:

  • The Bank of England is projected to reduce interest rates to 3.25% by mid-2026, creating a negative interest rate differential compared to the UAE's stable rates, which may weaken the GBP.
  • The UK’s economic growth is expected to decelerate, projected at 1.4% in 2026, which could negatively affect the GBP.
  • The UAE’s GDP is forecasted to grow robustly at around 4.9% in 2025, supporting the AED.

In the near term, the exchange rate is expected to trade within a stable range, continuing its recent patterns just below the three-month average.

An upside risk could emerge from stronger than anticipated economic data from the UAE, boosting the AED. Conversely, deeper-than-expected rate cuts from the Bank of England could pressure the GBP lower, affecting the exchange rate unfavorably.
