BBVA CIB among the leaders in Bloomberg’s FX ranking: strong performance in foreign exchange with a focus on the UK and Latin America
BBVA’s FX Strategy team, which has long been at the forefront of forecasting in Latin America, continues to build on its solid track record with new achievements in the third quarter of 2025. According to Bloomberg, the team ranks among the top forecasters in the G10 group, leading the EUR/GBP ranking and placing in the Top 5 for EUR/USD and other major currencies.
BBVA Corporate & Investment Banking (CIB) has once again demonstrated the strength and consistency of its foreign exchange strategy, ranking among the top three G10 forecasters in Bloomberg’s Q3 2025 ranking. This recognition is particularly significant given the large number of institutions participating in the category, making this achievement a remarkable milestone in the field of macroeconomic and market analysis.
The distinction in the EUR/GBP pair, where BBVA was recognised as the top forecaster, reinforces the bank’s strategic positioning, particularly at a time when CIB’s institutional plan places such a strong emphasis on the United Kingdom.
“The recognition in EUR/GBP reflects not only the excellence and consistency of our research team, but also our firm commitment to the strategy that BBVA is driving in the United Kingdom, a key geography for our investment banking business. Having a local presence in London allows us to stay close to major institutional clients, understand their needs first-hand, and offer them specialised, high value-added service,” said Roberto Cobo García, Senior Vice President responsible for G10 FX Strategy at BBVA Global Markets Strategy.
In addition to its top-three position in G10 and leadership in EUR/GBP, the FX Strategy team achieved strong results in EUR/USD and other currencies, including the Japanese yen (JPY), Norwegian krone (NOK) and Swedish krona (SEK), placing in the Top 10 for each. In Latin America, a region where BBVA has long been a reference, the team ranked in the Top 2 for currencies and was named “Best LatAm FX Research 2025” by Euromoney, further cementing its continued regional leadership.
These recognitions consolidate BBVA CIB’s track record in Global Markets and reflect its commitment to an increasingly specialised value proposition, adapted to market dynamics and the challenges faced in its key geographies.
