Ahh, the United Arab Emirates. Where else can you get police who drive Lamborghinis and gold bars dispensed from an ATM?
What influences the AED/USD exchange rate?
Like many Gulf currencies, the United Emirates Dirham (AED) is pegged to the U.S. dollar. Since 1997, the AED has been pegged to the dollar at a fixed rate of 3.6725 dirhams to 1 USD. That means the AED/USD exchange rate does not fluctuate, however the value of the AED will move in tandem with USD fluctuations when compared to other currencies.
The only thing that can influence the USD/AED exchange rate is a change in fiscal policy from the UAE’s Central Bank.

The two countries work together to promote peace and security, support economic growth, and improve educational opportunities in the region and around the world.
