GBP to EUR Forecast & Outlook

11 Jul 2026 • 00:28 GMT

GBP/EUR 1.1737

📊 Forecast snapshot

  • Near-term bias: 🔴 Mild downside
  • Expected range: 1.1540 – 1.1740
  • Dominant driver: 🌍 Global risk sentiment
  • 3-month trend: 🟢 Uptrend

Currently, GBP/EUR is trading near 1.1737, slightly above its 3-month average of 1.157. The pair has been consolidating within its recent range, supported by market concerns about UK political uncertainty and geopolitical tensions. Over the next few sessions, risk sentiment is likely to remain a dominant driver, potentially pushing the pair lower as safe-haven flows persist. Near-term conditions suggest the pound may face pressure if risk-off environment remains in place.

💸 Transfer implications

  • Expats: sending money to eurozone countries may find current rates less favourable than recent levels if the pair continues to weaken.
  • Travellers: buying euro cash or loading currency cards might encounter slightly higher costs if the pair steadies or falls further.
  • Businesses: paying overseas invoices in euros could see their costs remain supported by the weaker pound.

🧭 Key drivers

  • Rate gap: UK yields remain below eurozone yields, adding downside pressure to GBP/EUR.
  • Risk/commodities: Market risk aversion is supporting safe-haven currencies, pressuring risk-sensitive FX.
  • Global factors: Elevated geopolitical tensions are sustaining risk-off sentiment and Eurozone economic resilience.

⚠️ What could change it

  • Upside risk: A easing of geopolitical tensions or a positive shift in UK political developments could boost the pound.
  • Downside risk: Further escalation of global risk factors or a slowdown in eurozone growth could undermine the euro’s stability.

BER suggests monitoring geopolitical developments and comparing FX providers to help offset less favourable exchange conditions.

 

GBPEUR Bank Forecasts to end of the year

According to recent forecasts, major banks expect the EUR/GBP pair to trend higher by the end of the year. This is primarily due to expectations of limited monetary action from the Bank of England and ongoing economic pressures on the UK. Rabobank anticipates the pair moving towards 0.89, while ING expects it to breach 0.88, with further gains projected as the year progresses. The collective view indicates a gradual strengthening of the euro against the pound.

Big bank views

  • Rabobank predicts EUR/GBP could reach 0.89 by year-end due to UK-specific risks and inflation concerns.
  • ING forecasts EUR/GBP to rise above 0.88 by year-end as domestic pressures on sterling strengthen the euro.
  • ING also projects a continuation of this trend into 2027, with EUR/GBP potentially reaching 0.90.

What could change the outlook

  • Significant policy shifts from the Bank of England could alter sterling's trajectory.
  • Unexpected geopolitical or economic disruptions impacting eurozone stability might slow the euro's gains.
