Yemen approves civil salary hike

The Yemeni government has decided to increase the salaries of civil sector employees and contractors by 20% to address the deteriorating living conditions and declining purchasing power, with the specific amounts set for each job grade. This move comes amid ongoing economic crisis, the devaluation of the riyal, and persistent challenges in providing basic services, especially electricity and fuel. The government also praised Saudi support through a $150 million oil grant aimed at improving electricity services, and approved the establishment of an agricultural research station in Socotra.
