Syria’s government aims to revamp its financial leadership by appointing Safwat Raslan as the new central bank governor, replacing Abdelkader Husriyeh, according to sector insiders.
After years of isolation due to sanctions following Assad’s regime, Syria seeks to re-establish ties with the global financial landscape to enhance post-war recovery.
Raslan, who has prior banking experience and now leads the Syrian Development Fund, embodies the country’s strategic pivot towards financial recuperation and infrastructure rebuilding.
