The IRG of Yemen has moved beyond a period of deep disagreement regarding the necessary economic reforms, having theoretically approved an economic reform plan that includes unifying revenues under the Aden-CBY, raising the customs exchange rate, and standardizing fuel prices. This plan had previously faced resistance from some factions within the IRG of Yemen and even procrastination from the Prime Minister himself at certain times. Whether the government was compelled to take this step due to its severe resource shortages, or whether it acted in response to external pressures, especially after many countries refrained from providing support except for the September $368 million Saudi grant, there are still no positive indicators of the plan’s actual implementation, except for raising the customs exchange rate, which is considered the easiest measure. The Presidential Leadership Council’s approval of the plan and its assignment of the government to implement it represented an important step to support the government amid overlapping jurisdictions among the legitimate authority’s components. However, it also placed a heavy burden on the government, given its institutional fragility and weak authority. The government faces major difficulties in compelling some governorates and institutions, protected by influential figures, to deposit revenues into the Aden-CBY. This monthly economic bulletin is issued by the Studies and Economic Media Center (SEMC) with the aim of highlighting the most important economic developments in Yemen, analyzing the political and administrative factors affecting the course of the national economy, and examining their impact on citizens’ lives.
