About Singapore Dollar (S$)

The Singapore Dollar (SGD, ISO 4217 code 702, symbol S$) is the official currency of the Republic of Singapore and is interchangeable with the Brunei Dollar (BND) under the Currency Interchangeability Agreement of 1967 (both nations accept each other's currency at par for transactions). Issued by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS, est. 1971). Subdivided into 100 cents. Banknotes are polymer (since 2007): S$2, S$5, S$10, S$50, S$100, S$1000, S$10000 (the S$10,000 note — featuring the late President Yusof bin Ishak — was the world's highest-denomination banknote until withdrawn from issuance in 2014); coins: 5¢, 10¢, 20¢, 50¢, S$1. MAS uses an unusual monetary policy framework — it manages SGD against a trade-weighted basket of currencies (the 'NEER policy band') rather than setting interest rates directly. Singapore is the world's 3rd-largest FX trading center after London and New York per BIS Triennial Survey 2022 (~9% of global FX turnover).

About UAE Dirham (د.إ)

The United Arab Emirates Dirham (AED, ISO 4217 code 784, symbol د.إ or DH) is the official currency of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), issued by the Central Bank of the UAE (CBUAE, est. 1980). Subdivided into 100 fils. Banknotes: AED5, AED10, AED20, AED50, AED100, AED200, AED500, AED1000 (the highest denomination; current series features UAE landmarks — Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, Burj Al Arab, Dubai Frame, Etihad Towers, Sharjah Central Souk, Khalifa Tower); coins: 25 fils, 50 fils, AED1. AED is pegged to USD at AED3.6725 per USD since November 1997 (a hard peg via the CBUAE Currency Board mechanism). UAE is the Gulf region's most economically diversified economy — Dubai is a major global financial center (DIFC) and trade hub, Abu Dhabi holds ~95% of UAE oil reserves (the world's 7th-largest proven reserves at ~98 billion barrels per BP Statistical Review). The UAE Dirham was introduced 1973, replacing the Bahraini Dinar (in Abu Dhabi) and Qatar + Dubai Riyal (in other emirates) after the UAE federation formed 1971.
