The Government of Change and Construction in Sana'a launched a new economic program providing salaries for state employees and paying off the local public debt of small depositors, under the slogan "We are able together".
At the launch event, members of the Supreme Political Council Mohammed Ali al-Houthi stressed that this achievement represents an important step in supporting the rights of employees and depositors, pointing out the importance of continuing efforts to achieve more achievements under the current circumstances.
The government confirmed that this step comes in response to the directives of the leader of the revolution, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, and aims to alleviate the suffering of citizens and enhance economic stability, stressing that the disbursement of salaries and the repayment of debts of small depositors is done according to an exceptional mechanism based on rationalizing expenditures and redistributing available resources.
Prime Minister Ahmed Ghaleb al-Rahwi praised the efforts of the relevant ministries that contributed to the completion of this program, stressing that this step will contribute to improving the economic situation, stabilizing the national currency, and moving the wheel of development. He also reiterated that the aggression bears legal responsibility for the damages inflicted on employees and infrastructure, noting that the salary bill due since the transfer of the Central Bank to Aden amounts to about $13.8 billion.
Finance Minister Abdul Jabbar Ahmed Mohammed explained that the program will begin paying the dues of 467,000 small depositors during the first month while continuing to pay the rest of the dues gradually. He also stressed that the value of salaries in Sana'a is four times their value in Aden due to the stability of exchange rates, which reflects the success of the economic policy in Sana'a despite the siege.
The event was attended by several officials and military and security leaders, who stressed the importance of the next stage and called on the Yemeni people to stand firm and unite in the face of economic challenges and ongoing aggression.
