Earlier, Rashad Al-Alimi told the European Union mission in Yemen and the ambassadors of the five permanent members of the Security Council during a meeting at his residence in Riyadh that his council was suffering from a financial crisis due to the suspension of oil exports. Economists expect that the coming period will witness a serious decline in the economic situation in the presidential regions.
