Central Bank of Syria assures citizens their deposits safe
Banks, financial institutions in Syria to resume operations as usual, says bank
MOSCOW
After the fall of the Assad regime, the Central Bank of Syria announced on Monday that citizens' deposits in banks are safe and unharmed.
In a Facebook post, the central bank stated that the banks and financial institutions in the country will continue operating as usual.
After a period of relative calm, clashes between Assad regime forces and anti-regime groups reignited on Nov. 27 in rural areas west of Aleppo, a major city in northern Syria.
Over 10 days, opposition forces launched a lightning offensive, capturing key cities and then, on Sunday, the capital Damascus. The rapid advance, supported by defecting military units, led to the collapse of the Assad regime after 13 years of civil war.
Assad and his family fled to Moscow where Russia granted them asylum.
