[25/10/2024 05:49]

WASHINGTON - SABA
Finance Minister Salem Bin Briek met Friday with U.S. Envoy for Yemen Tim Lenderking in the U.S. capital, Washington.

During the meeting, they discussed the latest developments in public finances and the repercussions of the economic war waged by the Houthi militia against the Yemeni people, as well as aspects of joint work to address the ongoing economic crisis.

The finance minister explained that the effects and repercussions of the economic war on citizens are comparable to those of military conflict, emphasizing that the current priority is to support public finances, mitigate the effects of currency devaluation, and maintain the stability of institutions and services.

Minister Bin Breik praised the humanitarian and technical support from the U.S., stressing that the economy is the key entry point to addressing the humanitarian crisis in Yemen, which has worsened due to the Houthi militia's attacks in the Red Sea and the resulting disruption of supply chains, as well as the militia's violations against organizations and workers in the relief sector and the disruption of many vital programs.

For his part, the U.S. envoy reaffirmed his government's commitment to supporting the Yemeni government and its eagerness to enhance its performance and stabilize the economic situation.
