Member of the presidential leadership council Maj. Gen. Sultan al-Aradah and Prime Minister Maeen Abdulmalik inaugurated the branch offices for two new banks in Marib on Tuesday. They cut the ribbons for the newly constructed premises of Kuraimi Islamic Bank and the Tadhamon Bank which both cost 1.800 million Yemeni rials in construction and equipment over a plot of land granted by the local Marib government to five Yemeni banks for free in a move meant to encourage new investors to come to the city.
