Issuance of January 2026 Salary Reinforcements Begins Under Exceptional Mechanism Law

General

Sana'a: The Ministries of Finance and Civil Service and Administrative Development have commenced the process of issuing financial reinforcements for January 2026 salaries to public service units listed for monthly disbursement. This initiative 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 through the Ministry of Finance to the Central Bank of Yemen, which then channels them to the General Postal Authority and the Cooperative Agricultural Credit Bank (CAC Bank), adhering to the lists provided by the Ministry of Civil Service.

The statement highlighted that this process is being carried out under the continuous supervision of the revolutionary and political leadership and as part of the Government of Change and Construction's directives, based on available resources. It reaffirmed the government's commitment to monthly disbursements as previously announced and in accordance with the Exceptional Mechanism Law.

Furthermore, the statement underscored that the exceptional mechanism for providing employee salaries and repaying small depositors serves as a temporary solution. It emphasized that this mechanism does not absolve the countries involved in aggression against Yemen from their responsibility to pay salaries and compensate all public service employees affected by these aggressor countries, which have taken control of oil and gas revenues that formerly financed the salary bill.
