Damascus, Dec. 29 (SANA) The Central Bank of Syria will illuminate its facade this evening in the colors of the Syrian national flag, before transitioning to a visual display of the new currency denominations, Central Bank Governor Abdulkader Husrieh said on Monday in a post on Facebook.
Husrieh said the lighting “brings together symbolism, identity and confidence in the future,” adding that it forms part of Syria’s celebrations marking the launch of the new currency. He said the display underscores continuity and steadfastness, linking the country’s history with steps toward stability and modernization, in a scene that “reflects a spirit of belonging and embodies a national moment that lights memory and inspires hope.”
The governor said the executive instructions for Decree No. 293 of 2025 on currency replacement represent an important organizational step, signaling the start of the practical phase of this national undertaking. He said the instructions clarify mechanisms and procedures, ensure smooth implementation, protect citizens’ rights, and strengthen confidence in the monetary system within a clear legal framework.
Husrieh added that issuing the executive instructions confirms readiness to move into a new phase based on stability and modernization, serving the public interest and the national economy.
Earlier today, the Central Bank of Syria issued some of the executive instructions for Decree No. 293 of 2025 related to the launch of the new Syrian currency, noting that full details will be published later alongside the decree.
