News - Yemen: The Central Bank of Yemen strongly condemned the positions of the American and British embassies regarding the issuance of the 100 riyal coin, considering it a blatant interference in Yemen's affairs and a continuation of the economic war waged by the aggression coalition against the Yemeni people.

The statement pointed out that the US-UK aggression has planned and launched the economic war on Yemen since the relocation of central bank functions to Aden, targeting the national currency through counterfeiting, forgery, and illegal issuance.

The statement affirmed that the aggression countries reject any step that would alleviate the suffering of the Yemeni people and improve the economic and living conditions, as they are the ones responsible for the collapse of the national currency's value and the deterioration of the economic and living conditions.

The Central Bank held the aggression countries directly responsible for any repercussions that would affect all Yemeni governorates, including the Southern occupied ones.

Earlier, Ansarullah spokesman Mohammed Abdulsalam accused Washington and the Saudi-led aggression of waging a brutal war on the Yemen currency.

In a tweet on his X account on Thursday, Abdulsalam questioned the reason behind "America's and European countries' dissatisfaction with the partial measures taken by the Yemeni Central Bank to address the currency situation."

"The minting of a 100-rial coin was not arbitrary but a necessary step taken to replace damaged paper currency," he added.

The United States' displeasure with Sana'a's issuance of metal currency to replace damaged currency is evident in a statement published by its alleged embassy in Yemen, which condemned the move.

In a post on the X platform, it stated, "It is necessary to prevent counterfeit currency from entering the market."
