Converting from UAE Dirham (AED) to South Sudanese Pound (SSP)

What is UAE Dirham (AED)

The UAE Dirham (AED) is the official currency of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The currency code AED stands for "Arab Emirates Dirham," but it is commonly abbreviated to "DH" in trade. The Dirham is subdivided into 100 fils, making it easy to calculate smaller transactions. The symbol for the Dirham is "د.إ" in Arabic and can be written as "DH" or "Dhs" in English contexts.

The Dirham is pegged to the US Dollar (USD) at a fixed exchange rate of approximately ＄1 = 3.67 AED. This peg helps stabilize the currency, making it a reliable unit of exchange in the region. The UAE Dirham is widely accepted for transactions within the country and is also used in neighboring Gulf countries. Over time, the Dirham has gained popularity as a choice for international trade and tourism, thanks to the UAE's booming economy and vibrant travel industry.

What is South Sudanese Pound (SSP)

The South Sudanese Pound (SSP) is the official currency of South Sudan, the world's newest nation, which gained independence from Sudan in 2011. The currency code for the South Sudanese Pound is SSP. It is subdivided into 100 piastres. The symbol often used for the SSP is "£SD."

The SSP has faced considerable challenges since its introduction, including inflation and fluctuations in value due to ongoing economic instability in South Sudan. Unlike the UAE Dirham, the SSP is not pegged to another major currency, leading to varying exchange rates influenced by market conditions and economic factors. As a developing economy, South Sudan's currency reflects the country's unique situation, with high demand for foreign currencies like the USD.
