South revenue rise faces livelihood crises
According to data from the Central Bank of Yemen, the total government revenue in the southern and liberated areas up to the end of May 2026 amounted to 853 billion riyals, against expenditures of approximately 810 billion riyals, resulting in a cash surplus of 42.4 billion riyals. Despite nearly doubling the revenues compared to the same period last year, service crises such as electricity outages and ongoing salary issues remain unresolved. Additionally, rising commodity prices and the impact of the dollar’s increase on import costs further complicate the economic situation. This raises questions about whether these resources are being effectively directed toward essential sectors, especially since the increase in revenue has not led to significant improvements in service quality or economic stability. It highlights the need for efficient resource management and prudent spending.
