About Qatari Riyal
The Qatari Riyal (QAR) is the official currency of Qatar, one of the world's wealthiest countries by per capita income. The riyal has been pegged to the US Dollar at 3.64 QAR per USD since 2001, a peg maintained with ease due to Qatar's enormous oil and liquefied natural gas (LNG) revenues. Qatar holds the world's third largest proven natural gas reserves and is the world's largest exporter of LNG. The Qatar Central Bank manages the peg. The country hosted the FIFA World Cup in 2022, showcasing massive infrastructure development.
About US Dollar
The US Dollar (USD) is the world's primary reserve currency, used in approximately 88% of all foreign exchange transactions globally. Introduced in 1792 with the Coinage Act, the dollar became the cornerstone of the international monetary system under the 1944 Bretton Woods Agreement. Even after the gold standard was abandoned in 1971, the dollar maintained its dominant status - oil and most global commodities are priced in dollars, and major sovereign debt is primarily denominated in USD. The Federal Reserve System (Fed) manages US monetary policy.
