Silver price in Yemeni Rial (YER) — Yemen
Today, 999 fine silver costs about 1,137 YER per gram in Yemen — roughly 35,358 YER per troy ounce and 1,136,770 YER per kilogram. Prices come from the global XAG/USD spot rate, converted into Yemeni Rial at Yemen's parallel-market exchange rate.
How the silver price in YER is calculated
Silver is quoted internationally in US dollars per troy ounce (XAG/USD). To express it in Yemeni Rial, we convert the spot price to a per-gram figure, apply the purity factor, and convert to YER at Yemen's parallel exchange rate — the rate at which dollars actually trade, rather than the lower official Central Bank of Yemen rate.
Silver units and purities (gram, ounce, kilogram)
One troy ounce equals 31.1035 grams and one kilogram is 1,000 grams, so the per-ounce price is the per-gram price times 31.1035, and the per-kilo price is times 1,000. Purity is given in thousandths: 999 is fine (investment) silver, 925 is sterling, 900 and 800 are common in coins. A 925 piece is worth about 92.5% of the 999 price for the same weight.
Why silver prices follow the parallel market in Yemen
With rival central-bank branches in Aden and Sanaa, Yemen effectively has different rial rates by region, all weaker than any official line. Like gold, silver is a dollar-priced store of value, so its YER price climbs as the parallel rate weakens. Tracking silver in Yemeni Rial gives a low-cost read on the same currency pressures that move gold and the street dollar.
