In 1978, the Dirham had a fixed exchange rate in the international exchange market but in 1997, it was again tied to the value of US Dollar at 1 USD equaled 3.67 AED.The Pound South African Rand (GBP/ZAR) exchange rate fluctuated over the past seven days. In 1973, the Emirati Dirham finally came into existence and was immediately adopted by all the emirates. For the time period that Emirati Dirham was being developed, Saudi Riyal was being used as an interim currency, immediately replaced by Qatari Riyal and then followed by Dubai Riyal. That was the time when the government of UAE thought of introducing the currency of their own. In 1966, the value of Indian Rupee went down and consequently the value of the Persian Gulf. In 1959, the Persian Gulf Rupee became equal in value to the Indian Rupee and since it was being circulated freely by the central bank of India, United Arab Emirates adopted the Persian Gulf. In the beginning of 20 th century, foreign currencies like Indian Rupee and British gold coins were being disseminated in the country. By the end of 7 th century, Dirham the ‘coin’ was being used as an Islamic currency by a few of the Mediterranean countries like Moorish Spain and the Byzantine Empire, In ancient times, Dirham used to be a unit of weight used in Middle East, Persia and across North Africa. Coins mostly regulated are 1 إ.د and 50 فلس. AED Bank notes frequently used by the locals, the tourists and the currency exchange dealers are 5 إ.د, 10 إ.د, 20 إ.د, 50 إ.د, 100 إ.د, 200 إ.د and 500 إ.د. The bank dealing with regulation and exchange of Emirati Dirham in the international foreign exchange market is Central Bank of the UAE. The inflation rate of Emirati Dirham is 2.10%. It is the most popular and the most sought after exchange rate in the foreign exchange market of UAE.

The currency code used worldwide for Dirham is AED. The Dirham is commonly referred to as ‘Emirati Dirham’. You can see the history of UAE Dirhams to Pakistan Rupee of last 30 days on this page. The AED rate in Pakistan is dependent on USD conversions, that is why it changes every hour. Pondering upon the aspect that Pakistanis living in UAE provide a lot of revenue to the government of UAE and that the trade relations between Pakistan and UAE are good as well, the exchange rates of AED and PKR should be made reasonable which would not only benefit the Pakistanis traveling across UAE but also boost economic and financial relations between United Arab Emirates and Pakistan. United Arab Emirates’ total population consists of 12.5% Pakistanis who make the second largest group in UAE with around 1.2 million population. Precisely 9 years ago the exchange rate for AED was 22.66 PKR and instead of remaining stable it has kept on rising to the point that exchange rates have become extremely unreasonable. Being a neighbor and having close connections with UAE has never had any positive impact on the exchange rate so far. Now- a-days when tourism rate of United Arab Emirates is skyrocketing, the name ‘Dirham’ is heard a lot, either from foreign exchange dealers or from frequent travelers who visit UAE a lot.Ĭonsidering the factor that the value of Emirati Dirham has remained pegged to US Dollar, the exchange rate between AED and PKR has always remained high. In the old times, Dirham was referred to as a unit of mass in the Persian States and the Ottoman Empire. Today Dirham Rate in Pakistan is Rs: 77.9 Dateĭirham is the official currency of United Arab Emirates, Morocco and Armenia.
