Discover the strongest global currencies in 2025, with Arab countries dominating the top ranks in the international market.
Watan-The strength of a currency is an important indicator of the health of a national economy, political stability, and the financial policies in place. While many factors affect currency values, sustainable economic performance and institutional stability often determine a currency’s position in global markets.
Understanding these dynamics is crucial for investors who trade in the foreign exchange market and analyze international financial trends.
The “Bankrate” website, in a report reviewed by “Al Arabiya Business,” lists the strongest currencies in the world.
1-Kuwaiti Dinar
The Kuwaiti dinar is currently the strongest currency in the world, with traders receiving 0.31 Kuwaiti dinars per US dollar.
It is worth noting that Kuwait owns about 7% of the world’s oil reserves, which significantly supports the value of its currency.
2-Bahraini Dinar
The Bahraini dinar ranks second as the strongest currency in the world, with traders receiving 0.38 Bahraini dinars per US dollar.
Bahrain is an oil-rich country, which significantly contributes to the strength of its currency. Additionally, the attractive investment environment boosts the stability of the Bahraini dinar.
9-Omani Rial
The Omani rial is the third strongest currency, with traders receiving 0.39 Omani rials per US dollar.
Oman has been producing over a million barrels of oil daily since the 1960s, which strengthens the value of its currency.
4-Jordanian Dinar
The Jordanian dinar is among the strong currencies, ranking fourth, with traders receiving 0.71 Jordanian dinars per US dollar.
Although Jordan does not have massive oil reserves, its diverse resources, such as minerals, contribute to supporting the strength of its currency.
5-British Pound
The British pound is the fifth strongest currency in the world, with traders receiving 0.82 British pounds per US dollar.
The long history of the pound, its economic stability, and London’s status as a global financial center contribute to its strength.
6-Gibraltar Pound
The Gibraltar pound is equivalent in value to the British pound, with traders receiving 0.82 Gibraltar pounds per US dollar.
This currency is closely tied to the British pound, along with the booming tourism and financial sectors in Gibraltar, which enhance its value.
7-Cayman Islands Dollar
The Cayman Islands dollar ranks seventh, with traders receiving 0.83 Cayman dollars per US dollar.
The favorable tax system in the Cayman Islands, which lacks direct taxes, contributes to the currency’s strength, along with significant economic activity.
8-Swiss Franc
The Swiss franc is the eighth strongest currency in the world, with traders receiving 0.92 Swiss francs per US dollar.
The Swiss franc is renowned for being a safe-haven currency for investors during international crises, along with the stability of Switzerland’s monetary policy.

The euro is the ninth strongest currency in the world, with traders receiving 0.98 euros per US dollar.
The euro is used in 20 countries within the European Union, which strengthens its position, alongside economically strong countries like Germany and Spain.
10-US Dollar
Despite its global dominance, the US dollar ranks tenth among the strongest currencies.
Since the end of World War II, the dollar has been the world’s primary reserve currency, allowing the United States to borrow at low interest rates.
While the Kuwaiti dinar is the strongest currency, the Swiss franc is considered one of the most stable currencies, thanks to Switzerland’s political neutrality, low debt-to-GDP ratio, and conservative monetary policy.
