Economic Factors

The fixed peg of the dirham to the US dollar: The UAE dirham has been pegged to the dollar for years, ensuring price stability and limiting volatility.

Foreign reserves and the volume of foreign inflows: These contribute to supporting the currency's stability in the face of any local or global economic fluctuations.

The UAE Economic Situation: Stable economic growth and low inflation contribute to strengthening the dirham.

Global Factors: While the movement of the dollar globally may have a slight impact, the fixed peg reduces any effect of global volatility on the AED/USD.

Future Outlook

In the short and medium term: The exchange rate is expected to remain stable around $0.2723/AED, unless there are unexpected changes in US or domestic monetary policy.

In the long term: Maintaining the peg to the dollar keeps the dirham stable with very slight fluctuations, which makes the UAE dirham one of the most stable currencies globally.
