Dubai – Yemeni government officials have entered into formal discussions with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to outline a comprehensive recovery strategy aimed at revitalizing the country’s economy and reforming critical sectors.

The talks, held virtually and in coordination with regional partners, focused on stabilizing Yemen’s fiscal framework, enhancing transparency in public finance, and rebuilding essential infrastructure. 

Key sectors under review include energy, banking, transportation, and public health, all of which have suffered severe disruption due to years of conflict and economic fragmentation.

IMF representatives welcomed Yemen’s commitment to reform and emphasized the importance of inclusive growth, institutional capacity-building, and targeted social protection programs. The Fund also reiterated its readiness to provide technical assistance and policy guidance to support Yemen’s path toward macroeconomic stability and sustainable development.

Yemeni officials expressed optimism about the dialogue, noting that international support is crucial to restoring confidence, attracting investment, and improving living conditions for millions of citizens.

The discussions are expected to continue over the coming weeks, with a joint framework anticipated to guide future cooperation and donor engagement.
