Eastern Syria forex deadline extended
The deadline for exchanging the old Syrian pound in eastern Syria has been extended until August 20, 2026, in order to ease congestion at post offices, which had seen large crowds of citizens. Exchangeers faced difficulties in their transactions due to the limited number of designated payout centers, with a daily cap of one million pounds per person. This led some to turn to traders and incur additional losses. The authorities responded by increasing the number of service windows, expanding the number of centers, and facilitating transactions through electronic payment and the "Sham Cash" app. The volume of transactions at the Raqqa center exceeded 16 billion pounds, with 90% of them processed electronically to ease pressure on the centers.
