GBP to NGN 2025 Forecasts

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

 

The GBP to NGN exchange rate currently stands at 2076, just under its three-month average. Recent analyst forecasts indicate a mixed outlook for the British Pound, primarily influenced by economic data and expectations for future monetary policy. Despite positive developments such as a stronger-than-expected services PMI and improved government borrowing figures, concerns over declining employment levels and anticipated tax hikes have contributed to ongoing pressure on the GBP. The Bank of England is expected to cut interest rates by 25 basis points in November, which may weigh further on the Pound’s performance against the Nigerian Naira.

For the Naira, key developments point to a necessity for adjustments in Nigeria's budget due to falling oil prices, which have dropped to around $68 per barrel, well below expected levels. This situation is exacerbated by the IMF's recommendations for fiscal recalibration, as lower oil revenue threatens Nigeria's economic stability. Additionally, the World Bank has acknowledged efforts by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to improve foreign exchange liquidity, a factor that has contributed to recent Naira stability. However, external pressures, including a projected 6% depreciation of the Naira amid global market uncertainties, are raising flags about its future performance.

With the ongoing volatility in oil prices, currently trading at 67.73 USD and reflecting a slight decline, analysts suggest continued caution. The relationship between oil prices and the Naira remains critical, given the Nigerian economy's reliance on oil exports. As the GBP/NGN exchange rate operates within a 6.6% range, stakeholders may find themselves navigating a somewhat stable yet unpredictable market, emphasizing the importance of monitoring both UK economic indicators and Nigerian fiscal policies.
