Last day for Syrian pound exchange with extended bank hours
Syria has confirmed the end of the deadline for replacing the old Syrian pound on July 30, 2026. After this date, the old banknotes are no longer valid for trading, although the Central Bank allows their exchange through specific mechanisms for a period of five years. This announcement comes amid heavy congestion at exchange centers due to the approaching deadline, coupled with increasing complaints about previous refusals to accept the old notes. To facilitate the process and reduce overcrowding, the Syrian Commercial Bank has extended its branch working hours until 8 PM solely for currency exchange operations. This measure follows the issuance of the new currency in December 2025, aimed at ending the circulation of the old notes and unifying the currency in Syria.
