GBP to RUB 2026 Forecasts

Analysis of recent sterling → ruble forecasts for 2026. We collate forecasts from respected FX analysts together with the latest British pound to Russian ruble performance and trends.

 

The current market bias for GBP to RUB is bearish.

Key drivers include the interest rate differential, with the Bank of England expected to reduce rates to around 3.25% by mid-2026, while the Bank of Russia anticipates lowering its rate from 17.5% to between 12.0% and 13.0%. Economic growth in the UK is projected to slow to 1.2%, which may weaken the pound further. Additionally, the Russian inflation rate is expected to decline to 4.0%, potentially supporting the ruble's value.

In the near term, the GBP/RUB rate may trade in a broad range as it adjusts to these economic factors, reflecting volatility observed in the past months.

An upside risk for GBP/RUB could emerge from stronger-than-expected U.S. economic data that might lift the pound. Conversely, a downside risk could arise if oil prices continue to weaken, impacting the ruble negatively, given its correlation with oil exports.
