Syrian Central Bank Sets New Currency Rules
The Central Bank of Syria announced that the deadline for exchanging the old Syrian pound will end on July 30, 2026, following a high completion rate in the exchange process. Starting from that date, the old bills will lose their validity and become illegal for trading, although they will continue to be redeemed through the Damascus bank for five years, provided that requests include at least 100 notes of any denomination. The process will be free of charge, and the new Syrian pound will become the official currency starting July 31, 2026. The bank urged citizens to rely on official channels for information on procedures and to adhere to the instructions to avoid rumors.
