UAE asks US treasury for currency swap line (developing).

UAE asks US treasury for currency swap line (developing).

The UAE frames the swap line as joining an “elite group” of US allies with such arrangements (currently only five countries). Despite having ~$300 billion in foreign exchange reserves and $2 trillion in sovereign wealth, the UAE seeks this financial safety net amid regional conflict.

The Federal Reserve is unlikely to extend a swap line, as it traditionally limits them to G-10 countries.
