CHALLENGE
Unemployment and lack of job opportunities: Ongoing conflict and difficult economic conditions have led to increased unemployment rates and a reduction in sustainable job opportunities.
Economic deterioration: The war has significantly affected the Yemeni economy, leading to a decline in citizens’ purchasing power and economic growth.
Currency collapse and inflation: The depreciation of the national currency and high inflation rates have made daily life more difficult for citizens.
Lack of financial services: Financial instability and cash shortages make it difficult to access basic financial services, which limits economic opportunities.
Lack of investment: Poor humanitarian and security conditions have discouraged both national and foreign investment, affecting future economic opportunities.
Impact of displacement: Continuous population displacement adds additional pressures on economic resources in affected areas.
