The Central Bank of Syria has launched its 2026-2030 strategy, first unveiled in December 2025, setting out its medium-term framework to strengthen monetary and financial stability and build a more modern financial system to support economic recovery. The plan is organised around five pillars covering sustainable monetary stability and confidence in the national currency, a transparent foreign exchange market, financial sector soundness and integrity, a secure and integrated digital payments ecosystem, and stronger international financial integration alongside broader financial inclusion. Implementation will be carried out through more than 30 programs and initiatives within a phased execution framework. The strategy also links to Syria's efforts to re-engage with international financial institutions by aligning with international standards, leveraging global expertise, rebuilding confidence in the financial system, and supporting gradual reintegration into the global financial architecture. Supporting enablers include stronger legal and governance frameworks, greater transparency and communication, faster digital transformation, and investment in institutional capabilities and human capital. The bank said implementation is already under way, with continuous monitoring of performance indicators.
