Country risk, from the local press

Yemen country watch

Exposure to Yemen means watching Red Sea shipping and the attacks that reroute it around the Cape, the ports of Hodeidah and Aden, the split central bank and the two rial rates, fuel and food import licences, the truce and the front lines, and the oil, gas, telecoms and trading groups operating across the divided territory. We read Saba, Al-Masdar Online, Mareb Press and Yemen Press every morning.
