UAE Unveils New Dirham International Symbol
04 April
The United Arab Emirates has officially adopted a symbol representing the dirham monetary unit.
Previously, the UAE’s national currency, the dirham, did not have a single abbreviated name and was commonly shortened to AED, Dhs, and Dh by the media, banking industry, and the general public.
Now, the Central Bank of the UAE has introduced a shortened version of the dirham symbol, similar to the way the $ is used in the US, the £ in the UK, and the € in Europe. The UAE will use a stylised letter D with two horizontal curved lines.
