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.

 

GBP/QAR Outlook:

The GBP/QAR rate is slightly positive, trading above its recent average and positioned near the upper end of its three-month range. This situation reflects pressure on the pound due to anticipated interest rate cuts from the Bank of England.

Key drivers:

  • Rate gap: The Bank of England's cautious approach contrasts with the Qatari Central Bank's stabilization efforts, causing downward pressure on the GBP.
  • Risk/commodities: Oil prices are currently elevated and above average, which supports the Qatari riyal, given its peg to the US dollar.
  • One macro factor: Recent troubling UK employment data has raised concerns about slower economic growth, which may prompt the BoE to reconsider its interest rate policy.

Range:

The GBP/QAR is likely to drift within its recent range as market dynamics stabilize.

What could change it:

  • Upside risk: A surprise increase in UK inflation could boost the pound.
  • Downside risk: Further negative employment data may accelerate rate cut expectations from the BoE.
