Historical Context: AED/USD
The UAE Dirham has maintained its US Dollar peg at 3.6725 AED per USD since 1997, making the AED/USD rate one of the world's most stable currency relationships. The peg was introduced to align the UAE economy with global oil markets — since oil is priced in USD and represents a cornerstone of UAE export revenues. The dirham's stability has been a cornerstone of Dubai's growth as an international financial hub, attracting foreign direct investment and establishing the UAE as the region's leading remittance corridor for South Asian and Southeast Asian expatriate workers.
