Yemen's war-torn economy, with a GDP of $21.89 billion, faces contraction. Agriculture employs many, while oil and gas dominate exports, with wheat and petroleum as imports. Poverty, unemployment, and water scarcity are severe challenges. Recent Houthi policies and reliance on aid highlight instability. Yemen aims to stabilize through international support and resource management, focusing on rebuilding agriculture and infrastructure to reduce poverty and foster recovery amidst ongoing conflict and humanitarian crises.
