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:

Slightly weaker, but likely to move sideways as the rate is below its recent average and near recent lows.

Key drivers:

  • Rate gap: The Saudi Central Bank's fixed exchange rate mechanism keeps the riyal stable against the US dollar, affecting its relative value to the pound.
  • Risk/commodities: Ongoing fluctuations in oil prices have caused uncertainty, which tends to influence the Saudi riyal, given that oil is a key revenue source for the country.
  • One macro factor: Recent political jitters and a dovish tone from the Bank of England following its interest rate decision dampen confidence in the GBP.

Range:

SAR/GBP is likely to drift within its recent 3-month range, given current pressure.

What could change it:

  • Upside risk: A strengthening of the pound, fueled by better-than-expected UK economic indicators, could bolster the rate.
  • Downside risk: Further declines in oil prices or negative news affecting the UK’s political landscape may weaken the GBP, dragging down the SAR/GBP exchange rate.
