In 2025, currency strength is best measured by purchasing power, not popularity or circulation. It reflects how much a single unit can buy in goods, services, or foreign currency. Among 180 UN-recognized currencies used in 195 countries, only a few top the list in terms of real value and economic strength.
The Kuwaiti Dinar (KWD) is the world’s most valuable currency. Its strength comes from Kuwait’s vast oil reserves, stable economy, and tax-free system. Indian expatriates closely follow the INR to KWD exchange rate. (Image: Freepik)
The Bahraini Dinar (BHD) is Bahrain’s official currency. It is the second most valuable currency in the world.
The Omani Rial (OMR), Oman’s official currency, ranks third globally in value. Backed by vast oil reserves and pegged to the US Dollar, it replaced the Indian rupee in earlier times.
The Jordanian Dinar (JOD), introduced in 1950, remains strong globally due to its fixed exchange rate and diversified economy. It ranked as the fourth highest-valued currency in the world
As per an Indian Express report citing Google Finance, the Gibraltar Pound (GIP) serves as the official currency of Gibraltar. It ranks as the fifth strongest currency in the world.
