RIYADH, Feb 21 (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia will make a $1 billion deposit in Yemen's Aden-based central bank on Tuesday, a Saudi source told Reuters, as the government there struggles with a weak currency and high fuel and commodity prices. An official announcement is expected later on Tuesday at the closing of a major humanitarian conference hosted by the kingdom's King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center in Riyadh, the source said. It was not immediately clear whether the $1 billion was part of an existing $3 billion support package pledged last May by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates for Yemen's economy. In November, the Arab Monetary Fund signed a $1 billion agreement to support Yemen's economic reform programme. On Tuesday, the rial was trading at 1,225 to the U.S. dollar on the black market in Aden, traders said.
