Overview
United Arab Emirates's exchange rate stood at 3.67 in 2025, a rise of +0.00 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 3.67 by 2025. United Arab Emirates ranked 124th globally.
The United Arab Emirates’ exchange rate has shown limited volatility over the six‑decade series compiled by the World Bank, moving from an early value of 4.76 in 1966 to a sustained low of 3.67 since the all‑time trough recorded in 1983. The peak of 4.76, reached in 1970, coincided with the post‑oil‑boom era that lifted regional currencies, but the subsequent depreciation to 3.67 reflects the emirate’s gradual anchoring to the US dollar and the broader Gulf monetary coordination that intensified in the 1980s. In 2025 the UAE’s rate of 3.67 places it 124th globally, marginally tighter than Saudi Arabia’s 3.75 and Qatar’s 3.64, and slightly weaker than Israel’s 3.77, underscoring the relative stability of Gulf exchange regimes. With the UAE’s continued commitment to a dollar peg and limited external shocks, the exchange rate is likely to remain clustered around the current trough, unless major fiscal reforms or shifts in oil revenue patterns alter the underlying balance.
