Yemeni riyal hits new lowl against foreign currencies in southern provinces

SANAA, Dec. 31 (YPA) – The Yemeni riyal exchange rate on Saturday continued to fall against foreign currencies in the southern provinces controlled by the Saudi-led coalition countries, reaching 1,216 riyals per US dollar in Aden and Hadramout provinces.

The local currency’s suspicious fall in the areas controlled by the coalition forces came after head of the Riyadh-formed “Presidential Council” Rashad Al-Alimi announced, last Monday, that his government was bankrupt and unable to pay the salaries of its employees, starting from the beginning of the year.

On the other hand, the exchange rates of currencies maintained its stability in Sanaa and the areas under the control of the Salvation Government at 560 riyals per dollar.
