The National Bank of Yemen receives the Excellence Award for the year 2020-2021 from the Arab Organization for Information and Communication Technology
 
 
 
 
 
Interview with Dr. Ahmed Ali Omar Bin Sankr, General Manager of the National Bank of Yemen and member of the Board of Directors of the Union of Arab Banks
 
1- Today we are in the forum “Compliance Activities and Strengthening Relationships with Correspondent Banks”, which is organized by the Union of Arab Banks in Beirut. How do you assess the most prominent challenges facing Yemeni banks with their correspondents today?
 
The political situation in Yemen, the events of the Arab Spring, the current state of war and the high degree of risk in the country have destabilized the relations of Yemeni banks with their foreign correspondents, who banned many banking transactions with Yemen, starting with incoming transfers, passing through outgoing transfers, after which the opening of credits, letters of guarantee and the entirety of Reciprocal banking transactions and services, until the demand was made to close the various accounts that are open to them as correspondents due to the steadily increasing risks and for successive periods of time. In the face of this reality, it was necessary to think and move towards finding other outlets and expanding the network of correspondents within the region, specifically Arab banks, including in Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, the Gulf states and Turkey, with which our relationship before these successive crises was unfortunately almost non-existent. Today, the Yemeni banking sector is seeking to restore the pulse of its relations with its correspondents abroad, and indeed, foreign banks have begun to return to a relative degree to deal with us in recent times, while maintaining the relationship with correspondents in our Arab countries, whose reach and connections have expanded and have been unprecedentedly active in recent years.
 
2- After the recent economic and financial crisis in Lebanon, Lebanese banks seized the balances of many Yemeni banks. How did this incident affect you?
 
The National Bank of Yemen has long-standing relations with Lebanese banks, most notably “Bank of Beirut” with which we have been cooperating since the eighties in the matter of opening credits and others, and the trust was mutual between us, and things continued in an excellent manner until successive crises appeared in Lebanon, which developed from political crises to Finally, economic and banking, where the balances of the National Bank of Yemen were seized, in addition to the balances of many Yemeni banks in Lebanese banks. These retained balances represent commitments to pay the value of credits for major and necessary commodities that alleviate the suffering of the Yemeni citizen. This problem with Lebanese banks has created many difficulties and challenges for Yemeni banks and commercial institutions, and we are still looking for practical solutions with the Bank of Beirut and with the intervention of the Central Bank of Lebanon. between Yemen and Lebanon. Here, we thank the Union of Arab Banks (the General Secretariat in Beirut), represented by the Secretary-General, Mr. Wissam Fattouh, for his efforts and endeavors in solving many of these problems and coordination between Arab banks for the benefit of all, and facing the challenges that afflict the Arab banking sector in light of the crises it is going through. them during the last ten years.
 
3- How do you evaluate the situation of Yemeni banks today in the face of all these challenges, and their ability to abide by international banking standards?
 
Yemeni banks have been going through a difficult ordeal for more than 10 years, as they have been subjected to many shocks, most notably the collapse of the currency, and the political and military conflict that affected the economic, banking, financial and investment direction of the country. Despite all that, the banking sector remained largely resilient and maintained its commitments to the international community, Now, Yemeni banks are trying to keep pace with all local and international changes, and to develop technological banking programs and systems and banking services that must be provided, and there is now a trend towards digital transformation in providing these services despite all difficult circumstances.
 
4-The National Bank of Yemen, from the Arab Organization for Information and Communication Technology, received the Excellence Award for the year 2020-2021, due to the implementation of the modern development and restructuring project and the introduction of the new banking system (BANKS) on your system. How do you evaluate this experience?
 
We started at the end of 2010 to activate the bank’s strategic plan within the development and modernization project that included restructuring the bank and introducing a new banking system (BANKS), but due to the Arab Spring and the war conditions, we stopped working with this plan, and we reactivated it again in 2017, and we started implementing it after insisting on that in 02/02/2020. The new system (BANKS) accommodates all technological developments and new banking services within the framework of our vision as a bank and the trend towards digital transformation, which is sought by Arab and international financial and banking institutions with the aim of imposing tight control over economic crimes that have developed with the development of digital systems. Here, we thank the Arab Organization for Information and Communication Technology, For giving us this award, which motivates us to further progress and provide the best modern banking services.
 
5- What are the most prominent results achieved by the National Bank of Yemen in 2020?
 
Realistic and achieved indicators were translated by the profits achieved at the end of 2020 despite the difficult circumstances and successive crises. At the end of 2020, we achieved an exceptional profit estimated at about 8.5 billion Yemeni riyals, which is the highest profit rate in the history of the bank since its establishment, compared to 7.5 billion riyals. In 2019, 5.5 billion riyals in 2018, and 3.2 billion riyals in 2017, knowing that before 2015, the year of the war crisis, our profits did not exceed 4 billion Yemeni riyals.
 
6- What is your plan to develop retail services and achieve financial inclusion goals?
 
Yemeni banks have recently sought to develop their systems and programs to expand further into retail services, but unfortunately the state of panic experienced by citizens due to the financial and economic crises and the collapse of the currency, led to a decline in trust between banks and customers who have become reluctant to use advanced and modern banking services, and this is what We are currently observing it in many of our Arab countries, which are going through crises similar to our current situation.
 
7- What are your future projects?
 
Today, we seek to complete the implementation and application of all provisions of the development and modernization project plan by restructuring and applying the new banking system, which includes all the bank’s branches located in our country, fully absorbing the various digital banking services, developing the capabilities of employees and creating additional value through interest in rehabilitating the capabilities of working human resources to keep pace with the changes. modern banking sector. We also always seek to find new partnerships with various financial and banking institutions at the local and external levels, and our motto always remains "Experience and Trust".

Gradual steps, including stopping the incoming remittances, and then in a second step, the outgoing remittances were stopped, and then the credits were not opened and then the accounts were closed, so this was the last stage, which really caused the suffocation.” And he continued: "But, perhaps, it is harmful and beneficial.

He concluded: "The crisis in Lebanon has worsened until things have recently become impossible, as the value of Yemeni credits suspended in Lebanese banks is currently estimated at $60 million.
