Issuance of February 2026 Salary Reinforcements Begins Under Exceptional Mechanism Law

General

Sana'a: The Ministries of Finance and Civil Service and Administrative Development have commenced the issuance of financial reinforcements for the February 2026 salaries to public service units included in the monthly disbursement list. This process aligns with the State Employee Salary Provision Program, derived from the Exceptional Mechanism Law for Providing State Employee Salaries and Repaying Small Depositors. According to Yemen News Agency, the two ministries announced in a joint statement that the reinforcements are being issued via the Ministry of Finance to the Central Bank of Yemen, then distributed through the General Postal Authority and the Cooperative Agricultural Credit Bank (CAC Bank), based on the lists provided by the Ministry of Civil Service. The statement highlighted that this initiative is being conducted under the continuous observation of the revolutionary and political leadership, in line with the Government of Change and Construction's directives, utilizing the available resources. The commitment to monthly disbursements, as previously declared, remains steadfast under the Exceptional Mechanism Law. Furthermore, the statement emphasized that the exceptional mechanism for salary provision and repayment of small depositors is a temporary solution. It stressed that this does not absolve the countries involved in the aggression against Yemen from the obligation to pay salaries and compensations to all public service employees affected by these aggressor nations that control oil and gas revenues, which historically funded the salary payments.
