AED and PKR-An Intro
UAE Dirham: The Central Bank of the UAE maintains a fixed peg at 3.6725 AED per US Dollar since 1997, ensuring exceptional stability. The United Arab Emirates dirham began circulation in 1973 and gets its name from the word ‘Drachmae’, which translates from Greek to English as ‘handful’. The UAE Dirham is not considered a reserve currency. The United Arab Emirates Dirham has increased +0.68% year-to-date against the Pakistan Rupee.
Pakistani Rupee: Operating under a managed float mechanism, the Pakistani rupee is subdivided into 100 paise and adjusts to trade balance variations, foreign exchange reserve fluctuations, inflation pressures, and remittance inflows. The Pakistani Rupee is not considered a reserve currency. The Pakistan Rupee has decreased -0.66% year-to-date against the Dirham. Over the past 10 years, the Pakistan Rupee has declined -62.56% against the United Arab Emirates Dirham.
Valuation Determinants
Inflation Gaps: Pakistan’s elevated inflation compared to the UAE’s near-zero inflation continuously erodes the Rupee’s purchasing capacity, requiring State Bank interventions through monetary policy modifications and interest rate adjustments.
Energy Price Impact: Global oil valuations affect both economies asymmetrically—bolstering the UAE as an exporter while straining Pakistan as an importer. The UAE’s robust economy driven by oil exports and international trade supports the Dirham’s strength.
Remittance Channels: The UAE serves as Pakistan’s second-largest remittance source after Saudi Arabia. Consistent inflows reinforce currency stability and strengthen foreign exchange reserves, underpinning favorable rate positioning.
Trade Deficits: Pakistan imports considerable quantities of fuel, machinery, and consumer goods from the UAE, creating ongoing Dirham requirements balanced by robust remittance inflows.
