Fixed exchange rate

In December 1980, the dinar was officially pegged to the IMF's Special Drawing Rights (SDRs). In practice, it is fixed at 1 U.S. dollar = BD .376, which translates to approximately 1 dinar = 2.65957 dollars^[1]. This rate was made official in 2001. It is the third highest valued currency unit after the Kuwaiti dinar and Maltese lira. The Bahraini dinar is also pegged to the Saudi riyal at a rate of 10 : 1; however, because the riyal is pegged to the dollar in turn, the dinar is pegged to the riyal. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is an international organization that oversees the global financial system by observing exchange rates and balance of payments, as well as offering financial and technical assistance when requested. ...
