The Syrian Central Bank confirmed on Friday that a shipment of Syrian pounds has arrived in Syria from Russia through Damascus International Airport.
In a statement, the Media Office of the Central Bank said: “We confirm the arrival of amounts of Syrian pounds from Russia to Syria via Damascus International Airport.”
However, the office stressed that “the figures circulating regarding the size and quantities of this money are entirely inaccurate.”
“We stress the importance of relying on official information and avoiding falling for rumors,” it added.
The bank did not provide specific details on the exact amount of money.
This announcement follows recent speculation and misinformation regarding financial transfers between Syria and Russia, which have been circulating in the media.
Recent reports suggested that nearly 300 billion Syrian pounds (over $23 million) have been transferred from Russia to Damascus, though these claims have been denied.
