GBP to QAR 2026 Forecasts

Analysis of recent sterling → rial forecasts for 2026. 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 is currently range-bound.

Key drivers include:

  • Interest rate differentials are shifting as the Bank of England (BoE) has cut rates, with expectations of slower future cuts, while the Qatar Central Bank has also recently lowered its rates in line with U.S. Fed projections.
  • Economic growth in Qatar is set to outpace the UK, especially with substantial expansion in liquefied natural gas (LNG) production contributing to future economic strength.
  • The recent stability in the GBP to QAR rate, currently above its three-month average, suggests limited volatility in the near term.

Expect the GBP to QAR to maintain a stable trading range, reflecting these developments. Upside risks may arise if UK retail sales exceed expectations, reinforcing GBP strength, while downside risks could emerge from prolonged weakness in oil prices affecting QAR's stability.
