Economical Influences on the UAE Dirham Exchange Rate

If you are considering converting AUD to AED, It’s good to get a snapshot on how the economy may influence the dirham.

The United Arab Emirates has an open economy with a high income per capita. Diversification of the UAE economy means that they rely less on their oil and gas sectors than many of their neighbouring nations.¹

The UAE offers trade-free zones that are popular with foreign investors due to these zones having no taxes imposed, and 100% foreign ownership rights.¹

While the price of oil – one of the UAE’s biggest exports – does not directly impact the dirham, fluctuations in oil prices may affect the AED to AUD exchange rate due to changes in relative valuations of the US and Australian dollars.²
