GBP to SAR 2025 Forecasts

Analysis of recent sterling → riyal forecasts for 2025. We collate forecasts from respected FX analysts together with the latest British pound to Saudi riyal performance and trends.

 

The GBP to SAR exchange rate has recently been affected by various economic factors and forecasts. The British Pound (GBP) has faced pressure due to concerns regarding the UK’s fiscal policies, especially ahead of Chancellor Rachel Reeves’s upcoming budget announcement on November 26. This budget is expected to include tax increases and spending cuts, which analysts suggest may further undermine confidence in the currency. Recent calls for Reeves to resign due to alleged breaches of conduct have contributed to the pound's instability.

Despite a slight strengthening against the U.S. dollar, where it reached $1.3645, the GBP remains vulnerable in the face of domestic economic challenges. The Bank of England's (BoE) recent concerns over UK inflation and potential forthcoming interest rate cuts, anticipated in February 2026, also add to the uncertainty surrounding the pound's trajectory. The latest economic data reflected modest growth of 0.1% in August, suggesting that while the economy is not in severe decline, recovery remains sluggish.

In terms of the Saudi Riyal (SAR), it is important to note that it remains firmly pegged to the U.S. dollar at a rate of 3.75 SAR per dollar. This stability provides a consistent backdrop for GBP to SAR conversions. Currently, the GBP to SAR exchange rate stands at 4.9353, which is approximately 2.0% below its three-month average of 5.0379. The currency pair has exhibited stability within a tight range of 4.9318 to 5.1185, indicating the market's cautious approach amid ongoing economic developments.

Overall, the outlook for the GBP to SAR exchange rate appears influenced by both UK-specific fiscal challenges and broader monetary policy dynamics. Experts suggest that traders keep close attention on the forthcoming budget and central bank communications, as these will likely dictate the direction of the pound and, consequently, its exchange rate against the riyal.
