Aden Prices Defy FX Rise
The exchange rate of the rial in government-controlled areas improved from around 2,900 rials to the dollar to nearly 1,600 since August 2025, but this did not immediately bring down medicine prices in Aden. The gap is attributed to imported stock purchased at the previous exchange rate; shipping, insurance, storage, and distribution costs; differences in when prices are revised; and limited price transparency, as well as uncertainty about compliance with official pricing. The conclusion is that these factors do not justify prices remaining high. Assessing the impact of the currency’s recovery requires publishing approved prices, import costs, and monitoring results, while strengthening support for essential medicines.
