The Republic of Yemen joined a meeting held today, Wednesday, by the Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMD) Kristalina Georgieva, with central bank governors and finance ministers from the Middle East and North Africa region.

The meeting took place on the sidelines of the IMF and World Bank annual meetings, held in the Thai capital, Bangkok.
The Governor of the Central Bank of Yemen (CBY) Ahmed Ghalib contributed the deliberations.

He highlighted the main economic and monetary developments in Yemen, the multiple challenges resulting from the war and the recent escalation by the Houthi terrorist militias, the impacts of regional conflicts, and their repercussions on the national economy and the living and humanitarian conditions.

Ghalib affirmed that the Yemeni authorities are moving forward with implementing economic, financial and monetary reforms, despite the difficult conditions and scarcity of resources.

The CBY's governor called on Yemen’s partners in the international community, especially regional and international financial institutions, to increase their support and assistance to Yemen to help reinforce state institutions’ resilience, consolidate economic and monetary stability, and enable them to fulfill their obligations under these difficult circumstances.
