Khaberni - The Governor of the Central Bank of Syria, Abdel Qader Al-Husri, asserts that the new lira is not merely a medium of exchange, but a symbol of the success of the Syrian revolution, belongingness, and confidence in the ability to rise.
Al-Husri pointed to Germany's experience, where the introduction of the Deutsche Mark post-war marked the beginning of an economic revival, and to France's experience, where the new French Franc was the financial symbol of the new republic known as the Fifth Republic.
Al-Husri added, "Here at the Central Bank, we will perform our role which we understand very well, aware of the challenges and opportunities, committed to responsibility, transparency, and the protection of the national currency. The foundation remains in unifying people and their trust, because a strong currency begins with its people’s belief in it."
Al-Husri called for making this occasion a distinguished national case, where Syrians express their awareness, their trust, and their adherence to the lira as a symbol of their sovereignty, and national choice.
Recently, the Governor of the Central Bank of Syria, Abdel Qader Al-Husri, announced that January 1, 2026, is the scheduled date for the launch of the new Syrian currency, and the beginning of the process to replace the old currency, which will be conducted through 66 companies and one thousand dedicated outlets.
