GBP to CNY 2025 Forecasts

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

 

The GBP to CNY exchange rate has shown some resilience recently, with the pound (GBP) regaining ground following support from Prime Minister Keir Starmer for Chancellor Rachel Reeves. This political backing coincided with a stronger-than-expected final services PMI, though overall movement in the currency has been relatively muted due to a lack of significant UK data on the horizon. Analysts indicate that the GBP's stability is also influenced by ongoing concerns regarding the UK’s economic performance post-Brexit and trade relations, particularly in the context of tariff impositions by the U.S.

On the other hand, the Chinese yuan (CNY) remains under pressure, particularly amid a challenging economic backdrop characterized by slower growth in China. Reports highlight the yuan sliding past the critical level of 7.3 per dollar, indicating difficulties in the country’s recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. Trade tensions and retaliatory tariffs from the U.S. are contributing to market apprehensions, leading speculators to consider that the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) may allow further depreciation of the currency to bolster economic resilience.

Recent market data shows the GBP to CNY trading at 9.7935, which is 1.2% above its three-month average of 9.6735. This range reflects a stable trading environment, oscillating between 9.3032 and 9.8495. Experts suggest that the stronger pound may be beneficial for businesses engaged in international transactions, providing some cushioning against currency volatility. However, the outlook for both currencies is intertwined with broader geopolitical events and domestic economic indicators, meaning ongoing monitoring of these developments is essential for forecasting future movements in the GBP to CNY exchange rate.
