The Yemeni rial continues to show mixed performance across different areas of control within the country, amid a sharp financial divide between the central banks in Aden and Sana’a.
In the governorates under the authority of the internationally recognized government, the rial has maintained relative stability despite fluctuations. As of Thursday, August 7, 2025, in Aden, the exchange rate stood at 1,617 rials for buying and 1,632 rials for selling against the US dollar.
Meanwhile, in areas controlled by the Sana’a-based government, the rial remained almost entirely stable, trading at around 534 rials for buying and 536 rials for selling per US dollar.
As for the Saudi riyal, the exchange rate in Sana’a was 139.9 rials for buying and 140.2 rials for selling, while in Aden it reached 425 rials for buying and 428 rials for selling.
It is worth noting that exchange rates vary from one exchanger to another and from one governorate to another. They remain subject to supply and demand dynamics and the lack of unified monetary policies between the two sides.
