Higher Economic Committee launches e-government payments system

SANAA, April 13 (YPA) – Advisor to the President of the Supreme Political Council and Acting Chairman of the Higher Economic Committee Hashim Ismail on Monday launched the electronic government payments system.

During the launching, Islamil confirmed that the electronic government payments system is one of the economic recovery projects included in the national vision for building the modern Yemeni state.

“The e-government payments project will enhance Yemen’s economic capabilities in conjunction with the reforms taking place in various government sectors in light of the aggression and blockade experienced by Yemen,” Islamil said.

Ismail affirmed that the success of the Yemeni cadres in designing and creating such systems and programs comes in the context of self-sufficiency after Yemen was in the past relaying on cadres from abroad for millions of dollars.

He indicated that Saudi-led aggression coalition countries and their followers are fighting any project or system for managing electronic cash in the liberated provinces and pretending at the same time to show keenness on the country’s economy after they dumped it by printing one trillion and 720 billion riyals of the illegal currency.

“This system is not a result of the moment, but came after extensive studies with international bodies in light of the spread of Corona virus and fears of its spread through banknotes,” he added.
