The Presidency stressed the need for the urgent intervention of the Arab Coalition not only to oblige the legitimacy to assume its duties towards the citizens, but also to provide urgent support to the government to stop the collapse of the local currency, and to press seriously to correct the work mechanisms of the Central Bank and its leadership, and many corrupt influencers in its administration and those who tamper with the fate of the citizens, stressing the necessity of choosing leadership of the bank and its main cadre by consensus and adopting the criteria of efficiency and integrity, not loyalty and interests on which legitimacy is based in all its appointments.
