What this means for remitters
Short term: The rupee is likely to remain under pressure due to global monetary conditions and trade-related challenges. This makes it a good
time for Indian expats to remit, as each dirham converts to more rupees.
Medium term: Currency trends may shift if the US Federal Reserve starts cutting interest rates or if geopolitical tensions ease.
Dirham peg advantage: Since the dirham is pegged to the US dollar, its strength closely mirrors that of the greenback — directly impacting
AED/INR remittance values.
Should you send money now?

With AED-INR rates hovering close to ₹24, UAE expats are seeing higher returns on their remittances.
While there’s no certainty on how long this window will last, current trends suggest the rupee may stay weak for the near future. However, potential changes in
global trade policy or central bank actions could impact rates later in the year.

Bottom line? If you're planning to remit money to India, this may be one of the most favorable times to do so in 2025.
