April 7, 2025 - 18:00
In a significant move for the war-torn nation, Syria's interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa has appointed Abdul Qadir al-Hasriya as the new governor of the central bank. This decision, announced by state media on Monday, comes at a critical time as the country continues to grapple with the economic challenges brought on by years of conflict and instability.
Abdul Qadir al-Hasriya, a finance expert, is expected to bring his extensive knowledge and experience to the central bank, which has faced numerous hurdles in maintaining monetary stability and addressing the economic crisis. The appointment reflects a broader effort to stabilize the financial system and restore confidence among investors and the public.
As the new governor, al-Hasriya will be tasked with implementing policies aimed at revitalizing the economy, controlling inflation, and improving the overall financial landscape of Syria. His leadership will be closely watched as the country navigates its path toward recovery amid ongoing challenges.
