AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoImport Costs: Yemen’s internationally recognized authorities are tightening controls on goods bound for Houthi-held ports, requiring duties and taxes to be paid before foreign-exchange transfers are processed. Importers warn the rules could add costs in a country already facing shortages and high prices. Shipping Risks: Houthi attacks on Saudi oil tankers and advances near the Bab al-Mandeb are raising risks for Red Sea trade. Saudi Arabia has reportedly explored a deal to end hostilities, but the Houthis are demanding $51 billion and recognition as Yemen’s rulers. Taiz Services: Fighting and a month-long siege have blocked sanitation trucks from reaching the city’s landfill, leaving rubbish to pile up and burn. The breakdown in basic services is worsening health and environmental risks for residents.
