AED to ZAR 2026 Forecasts

Analysis of recent United Arab Emirates dirham → rand forecasts for 2026. We collate forecasts from respected FX analysts together with the latest United Arab Emirates dirham to South African rand performance and trends.

 

AED/ZAR Outlook:

Bearish, as the rate is below its recent average and near recent lows.

Key drivers:

• Rate gap: The UAE central bank's strict adherence to its USD peg provides stability compared to South Africa's managing of a more volatile rand.

• Risk/commodities: The recent increase in oil prices benefits the UAE's economy, potentially supporting the Dirham, while volatility in commodity prices can impact the rand negatively.

• Monetary policy adjustments: South Africa's high interest rates to control inflation are enhancing the rand's attractiveness compared to the Dirham.

Range:

The AED/ZAR is expected to drift within its recent range, with potential tests of its lower extremes.

What could change it:

• Upside risk: A significant rise in oil prices could boost the AED's strength against the ZAR.

• Downside risk: Continued high inflation in South Africa may lead to further interest rate hikes, supporting the rand against the Dirham.
