President Al-Zubaidi: "our battle to reform the economy is crucial and no less important than the battle against Houthi Militias."

President Aidarous Qassem Al-Zubaidi, President of the Southern Transitional Council (STC), Deputy Head of the Presidential Leadership Council (PLC), and Chairman of the Supreme Committee for Financial Resources (SCFR) affirmed that the PLC and power-sharing government, supported by the official brothers in the countries of the Arab coalition, have engaged in a crucial battle to revive the economy.

It took place when the president Al-Zubaidi, on Sunday, at his residence in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, held an important meeting with the economic team, headed by Mr. Husam Al-Shargabi, as the president emphasized on redoubling efforts to assist the PLC in finding quick solutions to the deteriorating economy and  collapsing value of the local currency.

The president Al-Zubaidi indicated that the PLC's battle to revive the economy is crucial and is not less important than the battle with the Iran-backed Houthi militias.

The president directed the economic team to work within two tracks: a fast track to stop the collapse of the exchange rate of the local currency, by boosting revenues, rationalizing spending, developing financial and administrative systems, qualifying their cadres, activating supervisory bodies, enhancing transparency, combating corruption, developing financial and banking policies, controlling and intensifying supervision over exchange companies, and the track of sustainable solutions by working to launch major investment projects in vital economic sectors, and preparing profound strategic studies that contribute to create a real economic recovery.

The president was briefed on the workflow of the team and efforts made to receive the pledges of the official brothers to support the national economy, in addition to endeavours exerted to mobilize needed assistance from donor countries, and the preparation of required studies and consultations for the economic recovery.

In turn, the head and members of the team expressed their thanks for the great support provided by the PLC, and the keenness to ease the encountered difficulties, affirming that the team relies a lot on President Al-Zubaidi's assistance as the Chairman of the Supreme Committee for Financial Resources (SCFR).
