14 containers loaded with new currency reportedly arrive at Mukalla Bank

MUKALLA, Jul. 13 (YPA) – A number of containers loaded with new currency arrived into the port of Mukalla, capital of Hadhramaut province, local news reported Tuesday.

Local sources indicated that a military force escorted 14 containers loaded with new currency printed in Russia without cash cover, from the port to the Bank of Mukalla.

Hadi’s government, the southern provinces, was flooded with illegal currency, leading to an unprecedented drop in the Yemeni riyal against foreign currencies, exceeding the price of one US dollar to 1,000 Yemeni riyals.
