GBP to TRY Forecast & Outlook

18 Apr 2026 • 00:56 GMT

GBP/TRY 60.68

📊 Forecast snapshot

  • Near-term bias: 🟢 Mild upside
  • Expected range: 60.6800 – 61.7420
  • Dominant driver: 🌍 Global risk sentiment
  • 3-month trend: ⚪ Range-bound

Currently, GBP/TRY is trading near 90-day highs around 60.68, supported by risk-on sentiment and improved risk appetite. The pair has held within its recent 5% range, with recent upward momentum linked to broader global risk conditions. Near-term conditions suggest a continued tendency for the pound to find support around current levels, though potential volatility remains if risk sentiment shifts.

💸 Transfer implications

  • Expats: sending GBP to Turkey may remain supported, making purchases in TRY more favourable than recent levels.
  • Travellers: exchanging GBP for TRY could face slight support, but caution is warranted if risk appetite diminishes.
  • Businesses: paying Turkish invoices in GBP may be more advantageous now, though changes in global risk sentiment could weigh on this.

🧭 Key drivers

  • Rate gap: The UK’s monetary policy stance remains generally balanced, but the rate differential with Turkey is less clear due to Turkey’s hawkish tone and elevated inflation.
  • Risk/commodities: Global risk sentiment is currently risk-on, boosting risk-sensitive currencies like GBP and supporting the pair.
  • Global factors: Market risk appetite driven by broader macro conditions remains a key influence.

⚠️ What could change it

  • Upside risk: A further global risk-on shift could intensify gains, pushing GBP/TRY toward recent highs.
  • Downside risk: A deterioration in risk sentiment or Turkish monetary policy tightening signs could weaken the pair.

BER suggests shopping around for the lowest margin provider may help reduce overall transfer costs.
