GBP to XAF 2026 Forecasts

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

 

GBP/XAF Outlook: Slightly positive, but likely to move sideways as the rate is above its recent average and lacks a strong driver.

Key drivers:

  • Monetary policy gap: The Bank of England maintains a steady approach while the Bank of Central African States has recently raised its key interest rate, enhancing the appeal of the CFA franc.
  • Oil prices: Continued stability in oil prices supports economic health in the region, which can enhance the value of the XAF as commodities significantly influence its strength.
  • UK inflation: Inflation in the UK is projected to trend lower in coming months, prompting speculation about potential rate cuts from the Bank of England, which could weigh on the pound.

Range: The GBP/XAF rate is expected to drift within its recent range, with no extreme movements anticipated.

What could change it:

  • Upside risk: A surprise monetary policy shift from the Bank of England could bolster the pound significantly.
  • Downside risk: Any negative developments concerning inflation trends in the UK could lead to a decline in GBP strength.
