Rashad Al-Alimi, Chairman of the Presidential Leadership Council, returned to Aden, Yemen's temporary capital, on Tuesday evening following a "fruitful" participation in the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly.
According to the official Saba News Agency, Al-Alimi will brief the council members on government measures taken to secure essential services and goods while addressing the severe inflation and price fluctuations exacerbated by Houthi terrorist attacks on oil facilities and commercial vessels, supported by the Iranian regime.
Al-Alimi plans to hold extensive meetings with the government, economic team, business chambers, political and civil entities, and relevant stakeholders to discuss strategies aimed at strengthening the national currency and implementing economic and administrative reforms backed by Saudi Arabia and the international community.
He was accompanied by Presidential Advisor Engineer Haidar Abu Bakr Al-Attas, head of the economic team Hossam Al-Sharjabi, deputy head Osman Al-Hadi, and several other officials.
Al-Alimi's return comes amid a rapid decline in the national currency, with the US dollar trading at 2,002 rials for sale and 2,011 rials for purchase on Tuesday, according to Barran Press banking sources in Aden.
