In plain English
The currency of Bahrain, code BHD, pegged to the US dollar and one of the highest-valued currency units in the world.
The Bahraini dinar (BHD) is pegged to the US dollar at 0.376 dinars per dollar, so one dinar is worth roughly 2.66 dollars. Like most Gulf currencies, its peg is backed by oil wealth.
A high unit value does not mean a 'strong economy' on its own; it just reflects how the unit was set. What matters for traders is that the peg keeps it almost motionless.
