Syrian Financial Agency Reports Corruption Decrease
The article focused on Syria's efforts to combat financial corruption, with the head of the Central Agency for Financial Control affirming that corruption has significantly decreased since the new administration took power. It was noted that corruption was widespread over the past decades. The report indicated that the value of financial violations uncovered during the first quarter of 2026 amounted to tens of billions of Syrian pounds and hundreds of millions of dollars, with some of these funds already recovered. The official explained that the inherited corruption from the previous regime is very substantial, but the agency is working to gradually eliminate it through regulatory and technological measures, in addition to reviewing and analyzing audit procedures across various sectors, especially economic ones. The audit results showed a significant reduction in corruption cases in 2025 compared to 2024, with current corruption levels almost negligible, with only three cases identified so far. The official emphasized that anti-corruption efforts involve joint cooperation with the Audit and Inspection Bureau and the Anti-Profiteering Committee, aiming to protect public funds and improve the performance of government institutions, despite ongoing challenges due to decades of accumulated corruption.
