Ugandan Shilling to UAE Dirham exchange rate history
What moves the Ugandan Shilling rate
The Ugandan shilling is on a managed float by the Bank of Uganda, historically one of East Africa's more stable currencies. Coffee (the top export), remittances and commodity-price shocks are the drivers.
About the Ugandan Shilling
The Ugandan Shilling (UGX, USh) is the official currency of Uganda, issued by the Bank of Uganda. The Shilling does not have a subunit in active use; everyday transactions are quoted in whole Shillings. Uganda runs a managed-float regime and has historically had one of the more stable currencies in East Africa, even through commodity-price shocks. MTN MoMo Uganda and Airtel Money dominate the in-country mobile-money landscape, and Uganda has been a pioneer of cross-border MTN MoMo interoperability with Rwanda and Tanzania. The country applies a 0.5% government levy on mobile-money withdrawals only — reduced from 1% after public protests in 2018 — which lifts the all-in cost of cash-out but does not affect wallet-to-wallet sends. For diaspora flows from the UK, Gulf and US to MTN MoMo Uganda, formal-channel UGX rates typically sit within 1%-3% of interbank.
