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.
About Saudi Arabian Riyal
The Saudi Arabian Riyal (SAR) is the official currency of Saudi Arabia, the world's largest exporter of petroleum and home to ARAMCO - the world's most profitable company by revenue. The riyal has been pegged to the US Dollar at 3.75 SAR per USD since 1986, one of the most durable currency pegs in the world, supported by Saudi Arabia's vast oil revenues and the world's second largest foreign exchange reserves. The Saudi Central Bank (SAMA - Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority) manages the peg. The riyal is divided into 100 halalas.
