The new symbol for the UAE dirham, unveiled by the Central Bank of the UAE (CBUAE) in March 2025, is beginning to appear across digital platforms and retail spaces. Shoppers have spotted it on online shopping apps like Noon.com and in physical outlets such as Carrefour.
Derived from the English name of the currency, the new symbol is designed to serve as a recognizable and internationally accepted representation of the dirham. Featuring two horizontal lines, the design reflects the stability of the UAE economy and draws inspiration from the UAE flag.
More than just a financial mark, the symbol represents the nation's heritage, ambition, and global outlook. It highlights the UAE's commitment to building an innovative financial ecosystem that resonates both locally and internationally.
