Central Bank announces release of second edition of 200-Rial Banknote for Circulation Starting Tomorrow
The Central Bank of Yemen has announced that it will begin circulating the second edition of the 200-rial banknote starting tomorrow, Wednesday, 16 July 2025 (21 Muharram 1447 AH).
In an official statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (SABA), the Bank explained that this move is part of its broader plan to restore and strengthen the national monetary system. The plan is focused on preserving the purchasing power of the Yemeni riyal and facilitating daily transactions for all citizens.
The new issue of the 200-rial note will be circulated alongside recently issued metal coins and is intended to resolve the issue of damaged and worn-out notes of 250 rials and lower denominations. The Bank emphasized that this move will not involve injecting additional money into the market or affecting exchange rates.
The new note has been designed and printed using the latest international standards and security features at multiple levels to prevent counterfeiting.
The Bank reaffirmed its commitment to restoring the credibility and strength of the national currency, which has suffered from systematic economic warfare led by the U.S. through regional and local proxies. As part of its future plans, the Bank will assess over the next six months whether there is a need to mint and issue lower denominations below 50 rials.
The Bank also stated that, out of its responsibility to protect citizens' rights and interests across Yemen, it had delayed the release of the new banknote — despite it being ready — to allow time for the implementation of peace commitments under the roadmap, which Saudi Arabia continues to delay.
The Central Bank thanked the Yemeni people for their steadfastness and trust, which it described as the key factor in the success of its monetary policies. This trust will continue to motivate the Bank to take further steps that serve the economic interests and aspirations of the nation.

Hamas: Assassination of Journalist Al-Jabari, her family is Systematic Targeting of Journalists & attempt to terrorize them
Gaza – SABA: The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) condemned the assassination of Palestinian journalist Walaa Al-Jabari along with all members of her family in an airstrike today, Wednesday, as a new crime against Palestinian journalists committed by the Zionist enemy army, stripped of all human values. In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (SABA), Hamas stated that the killing of journalist Al-Jabari is part of a Zionist policy of systematic targeting of journalists, aiming to terrorize them and deter them from carrying out their professional duties. The movement called on international journalistic institutions to uphold their professional and humanitarian responsibilities by exposing the widespread violations faced by Palestinian journalists, including the killing of over 230 journalists by the Zionist enemy since the beginning of this brutal genocide. Hamas urged intervention to protect Palestinian journalists and demanded the activation of legal prosecution against the leaders of the terrorist Zionist enemy in international courts, holding them accountable for their crimes against journalists, who are protected under international humanitarian law.
