GBP to AED 2025 Forecasts

Analysis of recent sterling → United Arab Emirates dirham forecasts for 2025. We collate forecasts from respected FX analysts together with the latest British pound to United Arab Emirates dirham performance and trends.

 

Recent developments indicate a cautious outlook for the GBP to AED exchange rate. The British pound has faced pressure due to budgetary concerns and stagnation in the UK economy. Analysts note that a potential policy change regarding child benefits has contributed to a growing risk premium, impacting investor sentiment. The upcoming speech by Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey is expected to provide insights that could influence the GBP, especially if a hawkish tone is adopted. Recent economic indicators show a stagnating UK economy, with a widening current account deficit and slowing real wage growth, further complicating the outlook for the pound.

In contrast, the UAE dirham has benefited from a strategic currency swap agreement with Turkey aimed at enhancing financial liquidity, which could support the AED's stability. Additionally, a recent interest rate cut by the UAE central bank aligns it with U.S. monetary policy, which has positively impacted local stock markets. The AED remains stable, particularly against currencies such as the Pakistani rupee, which is beneficial for the expatriate community in the UAE.

The GBP to AED rate is currently trading at 4.9331, slightly below its three-month average, demonstrating a stable range of 4.8506 to 5.0152. Analysts suggest that while external factors, such as the U.S. government shutdown, may shift sentiment, ongoing fiscal challenges in the UK will likely keep pressure on the pound, creating a volatile environment for traders and investors looking at GBP/AED transactions. As markets remain focused on both UK economic conditions and broader regional developments, the coming weeks will be crucial for those engaged in international transactions involving these currencies.
