Prime Minister Narendra Modi is on a strategic foreign visit to Jordan, Ethiopia and Oman. His journey has started from 15th December, which will continue till 18th December. During this time he has completed the journey to Jordan. At present he is present in Ethiopia and after this he will visit Oman. This visit is not limited to just formal diplomatic meetings, but is directly related to trade, investment, defense cooperation and regional stability.

With this foreign tour, a question also arises in the minds of common people that when Indian citizens go to these countries, what is the value of the Indian rupee there and what is their spending power. It is important to understand this aspect in simple language. If we first talk about Jordan, it is considered a reliable ally of India in West Asia. Thousands of Indians are involved in work and business here, due to which the relations between the two countries remain strong.

The official currency of Jordan is the Jordanian Dinar, which is counted among the strongest currencies in the world. According to the report of Vice.com, the value of 1 Jordanian Dinar in India is Rs 128.23. According to this, if an Indian comes back to India after earning 500 rupees, then his price will be 64 thousand 115 rupees.

The currency of Ethiopia is called Ethiopian Birr. The situation here seems completely opposite to Jordan. The Indian Rupee is in a stronger position against the Ethiopian currency. According to the report of Vice.com, the value of 1 Ethiopian Birr in India is only 0.59 paise. This is the reason why Indian businessmen and tourists are able to avail more facilities here at lower cost. According to this, if an Indian comes to India with 500 Ethiopian Birr, its price will be only Rs 293.
Currency of Oman Omani Rial

After Ethiopia, Prime Minister Modi will visit Oman. This visit is historic in many ways, as India and Oman are completing 70 years of diplomatic relations. Oman is a major partner of India in the Gulf region and a large number of Indian citizens work here. Oman’s currency Omani Rial is among the most expensive currencies in the world. For this reason, the value of Indian Rupee appears quite low here. According to the report of Vice.com, the value of 1 Omani Riyal is 236 rupees. According to this, if an Indian earns Rs 500 by going to Oman, then after coming to India its price will be Rs 1 lakh 18 thousand 154.
