Prime Minister Wael al-Halqi stressed that the national economy is exposed to an economic and media war which is targeting the Syrian Pound and aims at destabilizing it.
Chairing a special meeting for Monetary and Credit Council, the Prime Minister affirmed the need for issuing decisions concerning the stability of the exchange rate of the Syrian Pound and preserve the purchasing power of the deposits and guarantees depositors in order not to suffer large losses.
Halqi stressed the importance of sponsoring the exchange market, particularly non-licensed money-changers and speculative transactions and pursuing those who manipulate the stability of the exchange rate.
