GBP to XOF 2025 Forecasts

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

 

The exchange rate for the British pound (GBP) against the West African CFA franc (XOF) has recently seen considerable fluctuations, currently resting at near 90-day lows of approximately 757.5 XOF. This figure reflects a decline of 1.7% from the three-month average of 770.7 XOF, with the currency pair having traded within a relatively stable range of 757.5 to 782.5 XOF over recent weeks.

Analysts suggest that the pound's recent uptick following supportive commentary from Prime Minister Kier Starmer has been outweighed by enduring concerns over the UK's fiscal deficit, particularly after the government’s welfare reform adjustments. The GBP’s movement is expected to continue being influenced by broader market trends, especially with limited domestic economic data forthcoming.

The impact of the recent imposition of a 10% reciprocal tariff on UK goods by the US amid ongoing trade tensions further complicates the outlook for the GBP. The currency's future trajectory appears to hinge on the UK’s economic recovery, Bank of England monetary policy, and political stability in the wake of Brexit repercussions.

On the other side, the XOF benefits from its fixed exchange rate with the euro, which grants it a level of stability not found in many other African currencies. This anchored position contributes to the XOF's reliability, although it may limit appreciation against currencies like the GBP during periods of GBP recovery.

Market forecasts indicate a cautious outlook for the GBP, as key factors such as domestic economic indicators, the potential for interest rate changes by the Bank of England, and external trading conditions will significantly influence the currency's performance against the XOF in the coming months. Investors should remain vigilant to these developments, particularly as geopolitical and economic sentiments evolve.
