BBVA named top FX forecaster in Latin America for the seventh year, and ranks Top 3 in G10
BBVA closes an exceptional year in FX market analysis, having been named Best FX Forecaster in Latin America in 2025 by LSEG (London Stock Exchange Group) through its Starmine awards, a distinction the bank has received seven times over the past eight years. In addition, BBVA has entered the Top 3 in Bloomberg’s G10 FX forecast ranking for the first time, one of the most prestigious benchmarks in the industry.
These recognitions further consolidate BBVA’s position as a key reference in currency markets, both regionally and globally. The Starmine award by LSEG for Best FX Forecaster in Latin Americahighlights the consistency, depth and analytical rigour of BBVA’s FX strategy team, which has been honoured in seven of the last eight editions thanks to the strength of its forecasts and its ability to anticipate key moves in emerging markets.
In parallel, 2025 marks a new milestone as BBVA climbs into the Top 3 of Bloomberg’s G10 FX forecast ranking, a highly competitive list that assesses forecast accuracy across the most relevant currency pairs globally. Within this ranking, BBVA has achieved standout positions: first place in EUR/GBP and USD/NOK, second in USD/SEK, fourth in EUR/USD, sixth in AUD/USD and ninth in USD/JPY. These results underline the bank’s ability to deliver high-precision insights across both developed and emerging markets.
“At BBVA, we are driven by a clear purpose: to be our clients’ trusted financial partner. This mission shapes a way of banking that is deeply focused on their needs, built on trust, proximity and a deep understanding of their realities,” says Alejandro Cuadrado, Managing Director, Global Head of FX Strategy at BBVA CIB. “Our consistent recognition as a leading forecaster in FX markets is no coincidence: it reflects a way of working that is disciplined, thorough and committed, combining top-tier analysis, local expertise and a global perspective to generate real value for our clients.”
These milestones reinforce BBVA’s differentiated capabilities in FX Global Markets. With a quantitative-driven approach, broad geographic coverage and deep macroeconomic insight, the bank continues to offer institutional and corporate clients a value proposition based on excellence, foresight and strategic advisory.
