Syria Extends Banknote Deadline as Public Urged Not to Rush

The Central Bank of Syria says citizens have more time to exchange old banknotes. Governor Abdulkader Husarieh announced the policy after visiting currency exchange centers in Damascus on Wednesday. He stated the process is running smoothly and urged the public to avoid crowding. Officials are prepared to extend deadlines further if needed. The move aims to manage the transition to new currency notes. It seeks to prevent long queues and ensure orderly exchange.
