(ST)- The Governor of Central Bank of Syria, Dr. Adib Maiyaleh, has confirmed that the slight drop of lira exchange rate over the weekend due to “the re-open of the front pressure on the Syrian pound is an attempt to undermine the national economy and undermine the successes achieved by Syria at various political , military, security and economic levels .”
The bank “will not allow speculators to destabilize the exchange rate which the Central Bank could fix during the past months,” Maiyaleh said in a statement.
“The bank would take “very critical” measures to adjust the manipulators to exchange rates, noting that exchange foundations have been invited for an immediate meeting to discuss the developments and proposed actions to re- lira exchange rate to equilibrium levels,” the governor pointed out.
