SAR to GBP 2025 Forecasts

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

 

Recent forecasts and market updates indicate a cautious outlook for the SAR to GBP exchange rate, influenced by ongoing fiscal uncertainties in the UK and external geopolitical factors.

The British pound (GBP) has weakened due to increasing concerns over the UK government's financial position, driven primarily by the anticipation of the upcoming budget. Market analysts point to the pressure on Chancellor Rachel Reeves to balance growth ambitions with a challenging fiscal environment. This climate of uncertainty has contributed to a sluggish momentum for the pound, making it directionless leading into periods of low economic data releases.

In more positive news for the GBP, political instability in France and Japan has inadvertently strengthened the pound against these currencies, as observed on October 6, 2025. Analysts noted that the resignation of France's Prime Minister and changes in Japanese leadership are pushing investors to favor GBP over the euro and yen. However, this strength may be inconsistent as the UK grapples with persistent fiscal concerns. A slight rebound was noted on September 22, when the GBP rose against the dollar, suggesting brief moments of recovery amidst significant underlying issues concerning the economy.

On the Saudi riyal (SAR) side, it remains pegged to the U.S. dollar at a fixed rate, which stabilizes the SAR against the dollar. The SAR to GBP exchange rate currently sits at 0.1997, showing a modest gain over its three-month average of 0.1981. The SAR has traded within a stable range recently, indicating that external influences on the riyal remain limited, allowing it to react consistently to fluctuations in the GBP.

Currency experts predict that the inherent volatility of the pound, driven by fiscal policy concerns and broader economic uncertainties, will continue to affect the SAR to GBP exchange rate in the coming weeks. Investors are advised to keep a close watch on upcoming UK budget announcements and potential shifts in the geopolitical landscape, which could induce further fluctuations in this exchange rate.
