UAE Dirham (AED)
The dirham is pegged to the US dollar, which makes it one of the most predictable quotes in the catalogue: its USD rate barely moves, and its movement against other currencies mirrors the dollar's own.

Where the UAE Dirham circulates
That peg has a practical consequence. If your base is AED, your EUR and GBP figures will swing exactly as the dollar does, so a chart of AED against the euro is really a chart of USD against the euro.
- Domestic pricing in the UAE, including the large retail and tourism sectors.
- Remittance corridors to South Asia, which are among the world's largest by value.
- Invoicing in a dollar-pegged currency for trade that would otherwise carry dollar exposure.
How it is quoted, and what to watch
Because of the peg, quoting AED against another currency adds no information beyond the USD rate unless the basket itself changes. Storing the USD quote and deriving AED is usually simpler than storing both.
Reading AED from the API
Ask for AED as the base and every quote in the response is re-expressed against it — the reading, the catalogue and the account balance all arrive together.
Crosses are the quotient of two published quotes, so a pair you need but we do not list is still one division away.

Is the dirham fixed to the dollar?
In practice, yes — it has been pegged at close to 3.67 dirhams per dollar for decades, which is why its movements against third currencies track the dollar.
How do I display the dirham symbol correctly?
It is an Arabic-script glyph, so it needs a right-to-left context. Formatting with Intl.NumberFormat and the AED code handles the direction and position for you.
