Why AED is Pegged to USD
The UAE Dirham has been pegged to the US Dollar at a fixed rate of 3.6725 AED = 1 USD since 1997. This means the AED-INR exchange rate moves primarily based on the USD-INR rate. When the rupee weakens against the dollar, it also weakens against the dirham, and vice versa.
What Affects the AED to INR Exchange Rate?
The AED to INR rate is influenced by:

- Remittance Flows: Over 3.5 million Indians in the UAE send money home regularly, affecting demand for INR.
- RBI Monetary Policy: India's interest rate decisions affect the rupee's strength.
- Global Risk Sentiment: During global uncertainty, investors prefer USD (and hence AED).
