In a recent meeting held in the temporary capital of Aden, Ahmed Ahmed Ghaleb, the Governor of the Central Bank of Yemen, engaged in discussions with Thomas Friedrich Schneider, the German Ambassador to Yemen. The two officials focused on the latest developments in Yemen’s economic landscape and explored ways to enhance cooperation aimed at supporting monetary and banking stability within the country.
During the discussion, Ghaleb highlighted the significant economic challenges currently confronting Yemen. These obstacles arise amid exceptional circumstances characterized by regional tensions, which adversely affect shipping and insurance costs, as well as the prices of energy and essential goods. Such factors impose additional strain on public finances and the overall banking sector, complicating efforts to achieve economic stability.
Ghaleb reaffirmed the Central Bank’s commitment to implementing realistic and precautionary monetary policies designed to maintain a minimum level of economic stability and safeguard the financial system. These policies also include efforts to ensure the continuity of essential state functions, such as financing the importation of basic goods and addressing the needs of citizens.
The governor emphasized the necessity of enhancing support from international partners, calling for the adoption of more effective and flexible programs to assist the Yemeni economy. He expressed gratitude to the German government for its ongoing humanitarian and developmental support.
In response, Ambassador Thomas Friedrich Schneider reaffirmed Germany’s commitment to continuing its support for programs that promote economic stability and strengthen institutional capacities within Yemen. He commended the Central Bank’s efforts in managing monetary policy despite the ongoing challenges facing the country.
