This indicates the short-term stability of the pound. However, the forecast then softens slightly, with GBP/EUR expected to fall to 1.16 on both the three- and six-month horizons.
Further slight depreciation is forecast to 1.15 in nine and twelve months, indicating cautious expectations for the pound's exchange rate against the euro over the course of the year.
