USD to WST 2026 Forecasts

Analysis of recent dollar → tala forecasts for 2026. We collate forecasts from respected FX analysts together with the latest US dollar to Samoan tala performance and trends.

 

USD/WST Outlook:

Likely to decrease, as the rate is below its recent average and near recent lows.

Key drivers:

• Rate gap: The Federal Reserve's decision to hold interest rates steady weighs on the USD, while the Central Bank of Samoa focuses on liquidity reduction to support WST.

• Risk/commodities: With recent global de-dollarization efforts, there's ongoing pressure on the USD's dominance, impacting its relative value against the WST.

• One macro factor: The Central Bank of Samoa forecasts 3.2% economic growth for the fiscal year, supporting the WST amid a weaker USD.

Range:

The USD to WST rate is likely to drift within its recent stable range.

What could change it:

• Upside risk: Any unexpected improvement in U.S. economic data could increase demand for the USD.

• Downside risk: Further geopolitical tensions affecting U.S. assets could press the USD lower, worsening the exchange rate.
