Pak Sahafat – A Yemeni official announced that the policies of Washington and its agents are the cause of the country’s unfavorable economic situation.
According to Pak Sahafat News Agency, “Ebrahim Al-Saraji”, media deputy of the Economic Committee of the National Salvation Government of Yemen, emphasized in an interview with Sputnik that Since the end of the Kuwait negotiations in 2016, the US Embassy in Yemen has been involved in the issue of devaluation of the Yemeni Rial in areas outside the jurisdiction of the National Salvation Government.
He said: Since the 2016 negotiations in Kuwait ended, the Americans through their ambassador announced their approach in the next phase of Yemen. Washington’s ambassador threatened the Yemeni negotiating team that if the aggressor countries do not accept the conditions, we will make the price of the Yemeni rial reach the value of the ink it is printed with.
Al-Saraji noted: After a short period of threats from the American ambassador, it was announced that the Central Bank of Yemen was transferred from Sana’a to Aden province and they directly started printing new money, and this directly led to a decrease in the value of the national currency of Yemen in all the different regions of the country, although in the liberated areas, interaction with this illegal currency was prevented and the unfavorable economic situation was curbed.
He said: In the future, the mercenaries would deposit the oil revenues of Yemen into the Saudi Central Bank account, and the oil assets did not enter the Central Bank of Yemen, and this hindered the support of Yemen’s national currency.
