Saudi King Allocates $200Mln to Yemeni Central Bank - Reports
04:59 GMT 02.10.2018 (Updated: 10:57 GMT 05.03.2023) DOHA (Sputnik) - Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud has ordered that a donation of $200 million should be allocated to the Central Bank of Yemen to support the country's economy against the backdrop of the collapse of the Yemeni national currency provoked by ongoing military action, Saudi media reported Tuesday.
According to the Saudi Press Agency (SPA), the new contribution would complement $3 billion earlier deposited into the Yemeni Central Bank.

Saudi authorities expect the donation to alleviate the economic burden of the Yemeni people, the news outlet added.
The Yemeni rial recently lost half its value in comparison to pre-war figures, which has resulted in a sharp increase in prices of goods and services. At present the official rate of exchange is over 250 Yemeni rials to one US dollar.
