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 bearish, trading near a 14-day low.

Key drivers influencing this trend include: the impending interest rate cuts from the Bank of England (BoE) as inflation and growth slow down; Qatar Central Bank (QCB) reducing its rates to align with the Fed, which may stabilize the QAR; and anticipated economic growth in Qatar, driven by increased LNG production, contrasting with the UK's slower growth forecast.

In the near term, the GBP to QAR rate may remain within a stable trading range, reflecting its recent fluctuations.

An upside risk could emerge if global oil prices, currently rising, significantly boost Qatar's economic outlook and investor confidence. Conversely, continued fiscal uncertainties in the UK and further rate cuts from the BoE could exert downward pressure on the GBP, impacting the exchange rate negatively.
