GBP to MYR 2026 Forecasts

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

 

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

Key drivers include:

  • The Bank of England is expected to reduce interest rates while inflation is projected to decline, impacting GBP negatively.
  • The Malaysian Ringgit benefits from strong economic fundamentals and positive fiscal reforms, supporting its appreciation.
  • Malaysia’s expectations of continued GDP growth and improved fiscal balance strengthen the MYR.

In the near term, the GBP to MYR is likely to trade within a stable range, with potential dips below recent lows given current economic indicators.

An upside risk could emerge if the UK retail sales figures show stronger-than-anticipated growth, boosting GBP. Conversely, a downside risk is presented by potential further interest rate cuts from the BoE, adding downward pressure on the pound. Additionally, fluctuations in oil prices, currently trading below their three-month average, could also influence MYR's performance against GBP.
