For purchasing power parity comparisons, the US Dollar exchanged at 150.11 Yemeni Rials and mean wages were $1.06 per [[man-hour]] in 2009.

Remittances from Yemenis working abroad and [[foreign aid]] paid for perennial trade deficits. Substantial Yemeni communities exist in  the [[Arabian Peninsula]], Indonesia, [[India]], East Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Beginning in the mid-1950s, the [[Soviet Union]] and People's Republic of China provided large-scale assistance to the YAR. This aid included funding of substantial construction projects, scholarships, and considerable military assistance.
