SAR to GBP 2026 Forecasts

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

 

SAR/GBP Outlook: Bearish, as the rate is below its recent average and near recent lows, influenced by current economic conditions in the UK.

Key drivers:

• Rate gap: The Saudi Central Bank maintains a stable peg to the US dollar, while the Bank of England’s potential rate cuts could widen the gap with the SAR.

• Risk/commodities: Oil prices have remained volatile but are generally below recent averages, potentially impacting the Saudi economy and the Riyal.

• One macro factor: Recent warnings about US tariffs threaten the UK’s GDP, which may dampen GBP further.

Range: The SAR/GBP exchange rate is likely to hold within its recent range, with limited upward momentum given current pressures.

What could change it:

• Upside risk: A significant rebound in oil prices could strengthen the SAR against the GBP.

• Downside risk: Further deterioration in UK economic data could lead to increased selling pressure on the GBP.
