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 GBP to RUB exchange rate is currently bullish, having reached 60-day highs near 108.3, which is 2% above its 3-month average. Key drivers include the Bank of England's potential for slower interest rate cuts, keeping the interest rate differential in favor of the pound. Inflation trends show a gradual decline in the UK, while the Bank of Russia plans to lower its key interest rate from 17.5% to between 12% and 13% by 2026, which may support the ruble's stability.

In the near term, the expected trading range for GBP/RUB should stay within a broader fluctuations backdrop given current volatility in oil prices, with oil sitting at 7-day lows near 60.64. An upside risk could stem from stronger-than-expected UK retail sales, while a downside risk may emerge if oil prices continue to weaken significantly, putting additional pressure on the ruble.
