Recent developments surrounding the UAE Dirham (AED) and the Vietnamese Đồng (VND) present a mixed outlook for the AED to VND exchange rate. As of November 11, 2025, the AED is trading near 14-day lows at approximately 7,175 VND, remaining in a stable range of 7,160 to 7,195 VND, which aligns with its three-month average.
Analysts indicate that the AED has shown signs of strength against various Asian currencies, largely due to factors such as a recent currency swap agreement between the UAE and Turkey, aimed at enhancing liquidity. Additionally, the UAE Central Bank's decision to cut interest rates has boosted investor confidence and positively affected stock markets. These developments are expected to support the AED's stability and potential upward movement against the VND.
Conversely, the VND faces pressures that may lead to depreciation. Experts predict a decrease of approximately 3% against the US dollar throughout 2025, driven by a strengthening dollar and significant trade tensions, particularly following the imposition of US tariffs. The State Bank of Vietnam's intervention, including the sale of $1.5 billion in forward contracts, reflects ongoing efforts to stabilize the VND amidst these challenges. The situation was somewhat alleviated by the US Federal Reserve's rate cut in September, which offered the VND greater room for stabilization.
Market sentiments lean towards a cautious outlook on the VND's performance, with the expectation that persistent economic adjustments may further influence its value. As such, businesses and individuals looking to execute international transactions should stay informed about these evolving dynamics, particularly the developments concerning both currencies, to optimize their timing and savings on exchange rates.
