Bahraini Dinar (BHD): Backed by Bahrain’s financial hub reputation, oil economy, and managed peg, consistently ranking among the highest global currencies.
Omani Rial (OMR): Maintains high value through fixed U.S. dollar peg, government reserves, and Oman’s strong petroleum-driven economic framework.
Jordanian Dinar (JOD): Despite scarce natural resources, it remains strong due to stable monetary policy, global aid, and a carefully managed exchange system.
British Pound Sterling (GBP): Global demand stays high, supported by London’s financial dominance, investor trust, and the UK’s diversified economic strength.
Gibraltar Pound (GIP): Pegged to GBP, supported by Gibraltar’s finance, shipping, and tourism sectors, with regulatory stability tied to Britain.
Cayman Islands Dollar (KYD): Its strong currency status comes from its offshore banking sector, thriving tourism, and fixed-peg relationship with the U.S. dollar.
Swiss Franc (CHF): Trusted worldwide as a safe-haven currency, driven by Switzerland’s neutrality, stable banking sector, and consistent trade surpluses.
