GBP to NGN 2026 Forecasts

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

 

GBP/NGN Outlook:

The GBP/NGN rate is currently slightly weaker and likely to move sideways, trading considerably below its 90-day average. The recent political uncertainties in the UK and expectations of a potential interest rate cut by the Bank of England are weighing on the pound.

Key drivers:

• Rate gap: The Bank of England is expected to cut rates, contrasting with the Central Bank of Nigeria’s focus on stabilizing the naira.

• Risk/commodities: Oil prices are significantly above their recent average, which typically supports the naira due to Nigeria's dependence on oil exports.

• One macro factor: Rising inflation forecasts in Nigeria may pose future risks to the naira's stability.

Range:

The GBP/NGN is likely to drift within its recent trading range, reflecting current uncertainties in both economies.

What could change it:

• Upside risk: A surprising strong performance in UK retail sales could boost the pound.

• Downside risk: Further deterioration in UK political stability may increase pressure on the GBP.
