codes these international carrying feet to step up almost deliveries to ukraine to take the defensive with detailed coverage people with must department of government efficiency showed up here at the us. is headquarters demanding access to the building from around the world for the people of what the annual page has to be 10, it's the end of a painful chapter of displacement. there is no channel that covers world news like we do. we revisit places in the state, i'll just say we're really invest in that. and that's a privilege as a journalist or the i'm a kind of and got to be in the back. after 14 years, the floor scripling section and widespread corruption, cities economy is in ruins. much like it's, it would be try to look on the new administration. it's trying to reveal the challenges. i can fit a collab cut on storing patients and millions of people in need of humanitarian

assistance. the physicians government is promising reform reconstruction, tax overall and for them invest with both international sanctions in place. and this does a for everywhere. how long did the company take say, with the city of new finance minister in the day it talks about the there the mr mohammed, that was a finance minister for students, interim government. thank you very much for talking to out there. let's talk with the situation of the economy of city. i've spoken to people who are being paid $30.00 a month. i've met soldiers, former soldiers, who are paid $20.00 a month. describe to us what is the state of city as economy? someone in the name of the love who am i to disclose as everyone knows on the 8th of december 2020 full alone might have helped us to topple the

criminal gene. since the day after we went into the institutions of the country used to be led by the previous regime. and honestly speaking, we were surprised because we know before yes, that these, those that uses run by the previous redeem with the, the pages and having a lot of problems. but it didn't have a come to our mind. let me know that. and these problems and the, these is dealership is really that was just such a extent. as, for example, the very beginning. we the search full some numbers to know the situation of the country. of the time. we looked for that, that's not gonna keep on it. and we didn't get an accurate number because of the

lack of the reset on the record. we would also surprised that the company is in the economic sec the that with managed by the redeem most making that the company is focused on. we have approximately one septic and the company is of the state level and the majority of them in the last making companies . uh, companies that haven't submitted any of that that since 2018. 20. 19 to the point that some of these companies haven't submitted these any budgets since there is stablish shipment to clarify the financial position, which would have at a later stage in monitoring these companies as own of these things. how do we presented the negative indicator of the initial stage of the financial situation above the country and many of the looking at the economy of syria. how much money

did you have in the back to pay the salaries? how much are the foreign reserves of syria, and what is the plan to punish them? the most i look the most of the, the advantage, regardless of the central bank that we bought from the should be more accurate than atkins. and we have reached nothing negative to the number of gold them hug, govern, see, and the capacity. and we haven't found the, all the reserves that we expect to find about the golden sea or even gold. and most of what was in see of them bank studio and then it was to go and see the live at the end. and which was, that was, i bought nothing more than wordless bay, but this has become a major problem. it will still not be uh that we are no longer

trying to sleep. oh no. okay. the question is, how can we support the hub going see in the seo in central bank and that will benefit the country and its, its calling me in the next stage to go to work. so the 1st step is to try to lift the sanctions. and the next step is to move towards investing money in a meaning, invite in friendly and sisterly countries, somebody has and then you're going to invest in syria. you're doing this and i know for what we know, you'll never happen without lifting the sanctions for that and we will create a suitable environment for the investment down and the fundamental model for fluid . so both, also the tourism sets up and there's gonna be that is very important to allow her to come and see it to come to the country. i also we will reconsider that that 2nd

because the taxes goes to to you to be before the team between 72 to 70 percent of the total model ribbon this month. and today in investment at, in the country will consume flip, all was on the taxation system. and then what has happened, the sofa is that it will be in union the up. and with that, the is the, the you for that has lifted some the items from the billing section, but they don't have a significant impact on the. so does that, for your opinion, impose the ban on the input of all, inspect the equipment and the incentives on the finance and banking sectors and the cleaning allies. companies that open branches in syria. but they will be in

union, then it has a lift to dispenses for only one year. it's known that the smallest investment need 2 or 3 ease to be described as a rough with the investment and talk we did with that in exactly what i was going to ask you, because you've got all of these people coming in. there's serious friends in the region beyond who said that these functions need to be lifted. i'd like you mentioned, there's only mean it temporary lifting affection. and if it doesn't happen, what is your fear that you will be? will you be able to continue to run this country and essentially pay the salaries for hundreds of thousands of employees and some on the schools and we are talking uh a about a lot of hold in a do a lot of that. the countries in the world and the regional countries and especially, oh, brothers in the gulf corporation council,

countries for that off of brothers and took a title with the lady. and we have seen the seriousness fee in helping our company in support and see the with modern technology, let's with these etc. what i can during the coming stages, this vision and someone's going to be crystallized when we will never look this up . and when we assume our government positions, we have several plants who was in the comment period. but honestly and frankly, we also know accounts on extended support because if the senses unload the lifted, let the estimate of and if the, the it's, the support is not provided by this allowing the guns and wisdom countries the countries of the world is one item. we will not stop and then we believe that our capabilities to achieve this reticence and we pay the weight for these investments

. and we have managed to achieve the, the, the small things, not as big as we dream of that we have so many capabilities. and if we have companies and we can look to reliability, these companies in a way that can be useful, we can make use of some developing fixed, but these that will support the. so you talked about quite a lot of resources here, but what you did not mention is oil city a. in the 19 ninety's went up 260-0000 barrels a day. and you're barely producing any oil because there are problems in the north . are there any steps that you are taking as the ministry of finance to bring an investment into a restart? city is the oil and gas industry because it used to be at least a 3rd of your economy. and then the 3rd used to be agriculture. so just those 2 sectors could resurrect the city and economy. so what's the plan?

we've talked at the beginning of the ends of you about the sanctions related to our inspect. uh there are some sanctions and gotten going sector, but it's up to sanctions. you don't have control over those fields. the issue of control is ultimately a political issue, as you heard, and then use it. maybe the result of the politically old men to tabulate i'll study and become a period of the end of the day as economist or as the minister of finance. we look forward to the situation. the next one, it is a solution, and in the cuts the region will lead to the syrian leadership. the other has said that once in more than one's that it will not be satisfied in the end except with the one you're not to see. but therefore, the results of that will be in the region is the for, did as load, has with the address. this also is must be bought in the syrians originally,

you know, has got a sony. let's talk about the 2nd people that are people who are going to be looking at this and then they need to know. and as you mentioned, the state of the economy. how much money are you making? how many employees do you need to pay? and do you have that balance sorted out? i know you've only been in power for less than 2 months, but do you have that balance sorted out? a 7 minute minutes of them in zoom and i'm at the height. i will start with what you a little did. we have only been a pilot for 2 months, which is most often enough. honestly, the study, the many aspects of the country that was under the control of the team who's corruption was seen. but everyone was on the full 60 years in however, the day with regards to the states, employees, the redeem,

and the to come from used to a not wrote a system that sold the man to please upset the group in the bottom, but not, and photo a politicize the employment for them and the redeeming old uh to leave those people use the employee them. it is a boot at the size of the employment and we have seen so many contract signed and by individuals of those paper and hold on. let me in a couple of regarding those who have spent like a 9 years old, 10 years in the c o manual, so as to please them, the team signed contracts, probably not with them. and during the 2 months we do of me in the ministry of and that's kind of my was i have seen a lot of the kind of books i put in the ministry of finance idea. i'm not talking

about any of the menissi, the cut down situation of the ministry of finance and without the digit and the, the what the new modern technology, it needs only 50 percent of those people employed. and then by the previous review, i have a problem that i'm facing the problem. now when i go to a place of this and would love in that the for example, in these, these 5 employees, i see 10 employees who will be there doing that job. this is a job like an employee is in office, is that the will doesn't need if i want to 3 is wages i must. and this prop and book, the biggest problem in this connection is of the employee who is the full time you can log and sack this employee o, you cannot con flat his

a. you can look cats in his contract because according to the lo, on the phone, the tie in the time and an employee cannot besides with out exceptional. and this is an old, if he reach the age of the pension coming up as this is, how can you sort oh this problem? no, there are so many ways, for example, these the be below these employees and, and then home. we don't need them actually. and then open the sub list and the offices are the big can be enrolled in certain courses. and the we can teach them so many programs, computer programs and, and you know what, most, many of them are university graduates even though, but the, joining the army 2011, lift the army into it. but i was, and he doesn't have a real jones to get some experiences they just to employ them and you to please him

and that's about on. so the and the we were surprised to see and the, the, some of those old guys who cannot even use the excel program, i'm afraid i'm and the employees who cannot even repair the votes here. and then they stuck in a, in a professional way. and we thought of your call in the a, in a professional way, professional medium way. we have seen some employees who are using the was using windows x, p a. but on the, the, we have found some employees who have no experiences within them. then, well, the, the, the only got the job because of the, the favoritism and this was very well known, the business and celia bought why the model fee, sonya. so as i understand the 2 major problems that you have is one is corruption.

and the 2nd, the sanctions to, to run this country. how big is the problem description? if you were to put a number, oh, what, how much money are we talking about that was stolen from the saving people and how much of it do you estimate is frozen in terms of assets which were taking abroad from this country. and this been the companies and the phone with them of the from 100 regarding the assets are frozen the road we reach. so it's in figures and numbers on your bumps in now on a daily basis. we are getting more assets. the this is because the, the absence, my father of the resources that of, and this the trusted and how to get the corruption, i don't know from where can i start with a good option is the, the inside though every where the new lot of starting from the administrative sex, the economic side, the, the, the financial sectors and that is when it comes to the adverse effect, the m, the,

that's the jobs that were given to people and the holding it to the syrian slang. it's favoritism. and the we have also dealt with this are the some of the covenant companies, and we found that the company is the 2019 the haven't submitted them any that, that the companies must but not have one really to be submitted at the end of the day. but most of this company is having done that, and we have us post them a lot the results and some lists in old to know about the financial situation of these companies. and what is the present government is what haven't done anything since 2015. you said government, the funding is sorry to interrupt, but as you knew about these talent, just you knew how corrupt the system was. and yet when you came to power in the

front of the 1st things with that was announced with a 400 percent increase in salaries. so was that too early or is that spending the words? will people see a rise of 400 percent in their salaries? it'd be that then the kinetic mid hadn't been the so out of the mother at the very beginning. i'd like also to say that the where some body and come in is wage. so how do i, how to decide resided over by such a buzz? those who got to be at the how the degrees in 2 months we try to solve a travel to a country, to my glove. that'd be at the, in 2 months of the turn back, the have a job, i'm a photo and they have the city. is that the company? because we are very close to the previous that we have seen some of the things like that. don't know what the government, the southern agrees when we went on when we arrived them at damascus. and

the new administration, donald said that will be the southern agrees on the 400 percent and then welcome. this was a necessity because of the hardships and what the syrians have see, kind of the employee is used to say the salary you want me is enough only for 2 or 3 days. so we decided them not to the whole, give them the salary, increase the young come and be full even enough, but i'll be having all the that the gotten into the country this. so really 3 is fine. is there uh without the nano and the whole month, we need to do something. take a look at framing my part because we need to discuss you. the details will cover all the public sector if awesome, of this and we will increase the seller. is these the foot on the percent?

and at the end of the, you know, or beginning as a said, don't remember of february if we made these on, if i had restructure, i'm thinking now we finish this restructuring. and so many of the things in so many minutes is like i have not yet been determined. the minutes is and the problem is, do you have that? i don't know, you know, a lot about that. and then so many stops so many employees and whether not in the, in the records and not i have noticed a lot of requests as i know the how to do the non page and, and leave it again. i'm paid annual leave in my office on the describe of the ladies, which i believe was heavy for people who are not inside the country. they are the only busses who go out for that can come right there on the sellers locked in on. they have names in the records, what's physically the,

i'm not in the country. what else? we have found some employees or did not love and where and what the, the us to look into other places. and we don't know about the jobs over there. and then with the, the team of into the phone, they came to us of the said and they, we are here with a new law in that room in who is not happy. so the yeah, we can know that and then pay salary increase in the such amount. well, without knowing who when good, well that's and that's on this money. it is the other one. then we say that the surplus will look like 600000 surplus of life. and employee is going to icons bid 400 percent for 600000 individuals who are surplus on it and the people. and i'm not going to pay then, because we are true that the surplus,

the more but we need to do the reconstruction. and we need to put those people to a how in, so of places, if we decided to give him a subsidy with the other benefits, we need him to be helpful. we need him to be owed them to be useful. and we need everyone to know that the salary is paid because those people are supposed to be used to the country that the, the top piece of the, the stiffness i'm, as i understand the, the way you are going to resurrect the economy is to get we get away from the sanctions and then bring an investment as an investor, it would require them to have legal protection, political stability, and a trust in the country. you are running a government, which is an income government. there's no clarity over how long this government for the last, what the legal framework is going to follow. how are you going to convince people to convince money in the area with 25 minutes?

but if that's the point, we are the ends in government and we want uh, within this call you from the listing periods and it's normal home to, to take of the sorts of diseases. and we are planning to have a little companies for the companies that will include the investment and investment flow and the stock exchange, ugly organizations even more in, in a complete way on. so we can, we are forming, hoping that it can commit this to study in the model, treat the policy of the country that we are now offering lots of the investments owned by the country to the investors, to kind of from inside syria. and so those will want to invest with the loyalty to contracts in old uh to achieve this, the renaissance of them and to achieve this progress and without putting

buttons on the ridge rate. and the legal framework will be that of the, your favorite thing with the new cost of fusion during the coming period on the product security wise on a daily basis we are fully but the remnants of the previous lives, even if they have to go to the level of the country, very soon. 100. what has happened is celia hasn't happened. the end of the country up into the team falls a day with the next day. people's feelings about security and safety would have seemed that in damascus to the level in other countries. i sure if that is due for the the countries stay in this situation for months in both of those 2 months we have that. do you, do you have a job that's within a your so we have it's all sudden we have indications. i see that everyone comes

and goes. the security is that like 80 percent so many video and these are scions. that can say investments will be safe. yeah. we have the discussion, as you know, with so many delegations why don't in addition to, there's a go one to, to leave us with the flag sign. the we only came only for one or 2 days to because he has seen the truth. and the reality that is suitable for the investment, i mean, we as much as we can of doing our best model, johns, is that for us to create such an environmental stuff the finally, the currency of your country is now the syrian pound and it is fluctuating against the daughter, it goes to $6000.00 pounds against a $100.00 to $15000.00 pounds against a $100.00 in a day. that means that there's a lack of trust in the currency market and it's frustrating. how are you going to

restore that trust and ensure that the price of your currencies, i mean stable and become stronger than the 55? yes. what's the full with a? no, no. to make a long story short, the simple but cover and c comes from the thing. so they've gone to me on a and this and balances to date, for example, the city of the ceiling layer, right? it was the dean for do it off when the is $13000.00 long letters on the market, but the difference is big. and we all know that this is not a real difference and a 100, you know, the serial pound or the seem to leave the today. it depends on the cool a on the demand. and we are in the environment that as it was ready for this. so today as a multi point us in the common periods, look good and then they just add the syrians into the bag. he doesn't have to do

also the fact that the 2 or 3 coming months during this period in the probably we can see on the ceiling and later or the ceiling found is to detect that house and the with the food. and then the serial lira days today is the harlot, a 1000 almost floating because it depends on the market and then with the stability of the situation with the stupidity of disability, with disability, with the stability of the political act. most fee with that support will give it to the ceiling center bag. it's big and this the union that literally when i've got to be wrong done and then it situation. and then in 2011, we did a p $1.00. it was 3. there was before, you know, part of the former team for that and i'm sure that with disability,

you know, with the political disability the sooner than later will be strong death. and it will be, as you do it with all the thought i thought with you know what we have a sub is there, mama, that was a the finance minister for serious interim government. thank you very much for talking to the examining the headline. assessing the discussion, exploring abundance of wells class programming. design to inform, motivates, ending by on algae, sierra. arkwin, the democratic nations justified this kind of behaviors. collateral damage has collateral damage. that's why we all team is leading to what we're seeing that will allow me to push back for a moment is the, you are systems, corporate israel, affecting its global, standing from the impact to the us selections,

the escalating conflict in the middle east. and the urgency of climate action upfront sets the stage for serious debate on out jersey or embattled by internal conflicts. busy in the use of crews have made the country's economy unstable. let me look and see if any deals that'll attempt the democracy. alger 0, it examines how struggling nation 6 to build new alliances and its quest for stability, which may come to a very high cost for cause new directions. money. turning the tide on al jazeera, a heavy slicing, and we don't simply focus on the politics of the conflict. it's the consequence of war. the human suffering that we have a 4 times. we brave bullets and bombs, and some of the world's most troubled regions. the army floods in the face of idols

advance it is one of the most serious thoughts of violence in recent years. in some instances, we are the targets because we give voice to those demanding freedom the rule of law . and we always include the views from all sites, the celebrations and gaza, and they occupied westbank 100 and they just read palestinian prisoners of freed from hispanic jails under because i see. so i agree and exchange 3 is really captives are reunited with this. i'm most up to being released from costs. the other ones are in jordan, this is out as they are a life. and also coming up is really ministry is withdrawing from that. so we can call me don't strategic position that divides concept home at last.
