Media sources loyal to the US-Saudi aggression reported on Monday that the head of the so-called Presidential Leadership Council, the traitor Rashad Al-Alimi, has handed over the management of the Central Bank in Aden to the US Department of the Treasury. This move is seen as part of Washington’s ongoing economic war against Yemen.
According to the sources, Al-Alimi instructed the Aden Central Bank governor, the mercenary Ahmed Ghaleb Al-Mabaqi, to implement directives from a US Treasury team that had arrived from Washington to Riyadh for direct supervision of the bank’s operations. The Central Bank in Aden is under the control of the Saudi-Emirati occupation coalition and the hotel-based government (pro-Saudi government).
Last week, the so-called governor of the Central Bank in occupied Aden compelled local bank managers to travel to Riyadh to meet with the American team, with the meetings held on an individual basis.
A leaked document revealed the meeting schedule between the American team and commercial bank managers at a hotel in Riyadh, with sessions beginning on July 28 and continuing over several days.
Sources confirmed that the US Treasury team threatened the heads of commercial banks with sanctions against themselves and their institutions if they failed to comply with Washington’s directives.
These directives primarily focused on imposing an artificial and unrealistic exchange rate for the Yemeni riyal against the US dollar and the Saudi riyal in occupied Aden.
