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

 

GBP/NGN Outlook:

Bearish, as the rate is below its recent average and near recent lows amid ongoing UK political uncertainty.

Key drivers:

• Rate gap: The Bank of England’s dovish stance contrasts with the Central Bank of Nigeria maintaining high interest rates to manage inflation.

• Risk/commodities: The recent rise in oil prices adds pressure on the Nigerian naira, affecting its exchange rate against the British pound.

• One macro factor: UK GDP data release ahead might create further GBP volatility, with cautious investor reactions expected.

Range:

GBP/NGN is likely to drift within the recent range, as it remains close to 90-day lows.

What could change it:

• Upside risk: A surprise increase in UK GDP could boost GBP against the naira.

• Downside risk: Continued political instability in the UK may lead to further GBP declines.
