Annual meetings between the government and the International Monetary Fund commenced in Amman.

Annual Consultative Meetings Begin in Amman

The annual consultative meetings commenced today in the Jordanian capital of Amman. The discussions involve representatives from the Yemeni government, led by the Governor of the Central Bank of Yemen, Ahmed Ghaleb, and Deputy Minister of Finance, Hani Wahab. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) delegation, headed by Esther Perez, also participates in these crucial talks.

Objectives of the Meetings

These five-day meetings aim to address several critical aspects of Yemen’s economic, financial, and monetary developments. Participants will discuss future prospects, national recovery plans, and necessary reforms to tackle the ongoing challenges facing the country. The discussions are particularly relevant given the ongoing conflict with the Iranian-backed Houthi militia, which has severely impacted Yemen’s stability.

Key Discussion Topics

The agenda includes the government’s efforts to implement comprehensive reforms across economic, financial, monetary, and administrative sectors. Participants will focus on enhancing state resources, especially non-oil revenues in liberated provinces. The meetings will also address strategies to stabilize the national economy, alleviate humanitarian suffering, and provide essential services to citizens. Additionally, the development of the financial and monetary sectors will be a priority.

Government Emphasis on Support and Reform

The government representatives underscored the importance of these meetings, especially in light of the extraordinary challenges Yemen faces. They reviewed national plans and approved monetary and financial policies designed to stabilize the economy. These policies align with the Presidential Leadership Council’s directives for economic recovery. Urgent priorities for reforms and the international support needed to bolster Yemen’s efforts will also be discussed. The government stressed the necessity for the IMF to continue mobilizing support to help Yemen overcome its many difficulties.

As the annual consultative meetings progress, they represent a vital opportunity for Yemen to engage with international financial institutions. Through these discussions, Yemen aims to navigate its current crisis and work towards a more stable and prosperous future.
