The Central Bank of Syria has set out its 2026 to 2030 strategy, launched in December 2025, aimed at strengthening monetary and financial stability and building a modern financial system that supports economic recovery. The strategy is framed around credible monetary policy, a balanced foreign exchange market, a sound banking system, secure digital payments and sustainable integration with the international financial system. The plan rests on five pillars: sustainable monetary stability to strengthen confidence in the national currency, an orderly and transparent foreign exchange market that reflects supply and demand, stronger financial sector soundness and integrity, development of secure digital payments, and deeper integration with the global financial system alongside wider financial inclusion. Delivery is to come through more than 30 major programs and initiatives, supported by work on the legal and governance framework, transparency and communication, faster digital transformation, and institutional capacity building. The central bank also linked the strategy to greater openness to international financial institutions, transfer of expertise, adoption of global practices, rebuilding confidence in the financial system, and gradual integration of the national economy into the global financial system. Implementation is under way through phased priorities, with periodic monitoring of performance indicators. The central bank said it will continue developing its policies and tools and work with partners to support economic stability and sustainable growth.
