Forecasts for GBP to XAF

 

The GBP to XAF exchange rate has been relatively stable, trading near its 7-day highs around 767.5 XAF. The recent comments from Bank of England (BoE) Governor Andrew Bailey hinting at potential interest rate cuts have weighed on the Pound (GBP) as investors anticipate a dovish stance from the BoE. FX analysts are predicting further downside pressure on the Pound in the near term, with HSBC projecting the GBP to fall to $US1.20 and RBC expecting it to drop towards $US1.15 in the second half of the year. This negative sentiment towards the Pound is fueled by expectations of a June rate cut and concerns over political uncertainty and a possible stagflationary environment in the UK.

How to get a good GBP to XAF exchange rate

There are several ways to save on exchange rates when converting Pound Sterling to Central African franc:

  1. Shop around for the best GBP/XAF exchange rate: Exchange rates can vary significantly between different currency exchange providers, so it's important to compare rates from different sources before making a conversion.
  2. Timing is important: Keep an eye on the GBP/XAF rate on currency markets, as exchange rates can fluctuate frequently. Try to make your transactions when the exchange rate is in your favor. You can do this easily with our BER Smart Rate Tracker.
  3. Use a credit/debit or travel card that doesn't charge foreign transaction fees: Some credit cards charge additional fees for transactions made in a foreign currency, so it's important to check with your card issuer to see if they charge these fees and what their exchange rate is.
  4. Use a multi-currency account: Having a multi-currency account allows you to hold and transfer money in both GBP and XAF at close to the interbank rate. It also allows you to make payments or withdrawals in the local currency while avoiding high conversion fees.
  5. Buy currency in advance: If you know that you will need foreign currency in the future, consider buying it in advance when the exchange rate is favorable.

The key is reducing excessive costs and fees

Generally speaking, if you are buying Central African franc with Pound Sterling, then it's better for the GBP/XAF exchange rate to be higher.

However working against you are the fees all foreign exchange providers charge for providing their service. These fees is usually contained within the exchange rate margin (or difference to the mid-rate).

The transaction margin you end up being charged can be considerably reduced by around a few percent (of total amount being exchanged) for travel money and possibly over 5% to 6% when sending money. The exact potential savings depends on the currencies being exchanged and the amount you are transferring and if you are willing to shop around.

Our real-time foreign transfer and travel money/cards comparison calculators make shopping around easy and help you calculate how much you can save.

It's worth noting that while these tips can help you save on exchange rates, it's important to be aware that no single method is guaranteed to provide the best exchange rate in every situation, and it may require some research and comparison-shopping to find the best option for your specific needs.

Will the Pound Sterling rise against the Central African franc?

It is almost impossible to predict what an exchange rate will do in the future, the best approach is to monitor the currency markets and transact when an exchange rate moves in your favour.

To help with this you can add GBP/XAF to your personalised Rate Tracker to track and benefit from currency movements.

For expats, Cameroon offers a rich cultural experience and the opportunity to interact with a diverse group of people. However, it's worth noting that the country has been affected by ongoing political instability, insecurity, and human rights issues in certain areas, so it's important to check the security situation before planning your trip and to take all necessary precautions. The cost of living can vary depending on location, but generally it is considered relatively low compared to other countries in the region.

The official languages are French and English, but there are also more than 250 ethnic languages spoken in the country. Expats should be prepared to learn some basic French as it will be more widely spoken and is the main language used in the official and business settings.
