GBP to QAR 2025 Forecasts

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

 

The GBP to QAR exchange rate currently stands at 4.7933, which is 2.0% lower than its three-month average of 4.8925, reflecting a stable trading range of 4.7899 to 4.9702. Recent developments affecting the British Pound (GBP) suggest vulnerability amidst ongoing UK fiscal challenges. Concerns around Chancellor Rachel Reeves's upcoming budget, which is set to include tax increases and spending cuts, add pressure on the pound. Additionally, the Bank of England’s indication of potential interest rate cuts in early 2026 may further undermine GBP stability.

The UK's modest economic growth, reported at 0.1% in August, combined with falling inflation, has led to forecasts of a "bumpy landing" for the UK economy. Analysts note that these fiscal issues are likely to weigh heavily on the pound in the near term, keeping it susceptible to fluctuations.

On the other side, the Qatari Riyal (QAR) demonstrates resilience, supported by increased international reserves and foreign liquidity, which have risen to 260 billion riyals as of July 2025. Analysts attribute this stability to proactive monetary policy adjustments by the Qatar Central Bank, including interest rate hikes aimed at stimulating the economy. Furthermore, a forecasted moderation in the US dollar's value by Qatar National Bank could positively influence the dynamics of the QAR.

The QAR may also be influenced by oil price movements, with OIL trading at $65.00, which is 1.9% below its three-month average of $66.28. The oil market has experienced significant volatility, illustrated by a range of 60.96 to 72.53, reflecting global economic uncertainties.

Overall, the GBP/QAR exchange rate appears poised for further volatility as the UK's fiscal strategies unfold and the Qatari economy continues to demonstrate robust fundamentals. Currency analysts recommend close monitoring of both British economic data and the implications of oil pricing on the QAR, as these factors will be crucial in determining future exchange rate movements.
