Izmini Bala

Izmini Bala is the spokesperson for the UN envoy to Yemen, who has recently expressed concerns about the Houthi movement's issuance of new currency. She warned that this move complicates the long-term goal of unifying the currency in Yemen, which would benefit all Yemenis. Bala emphasized that the economy has become a new front in the ongoing conflict in Yemen, and unilateral actions by the Houthis deepen the fragmentation of financial and institutional frameworks, accelerating economic collapse.
