the the . ringback the on the i'm economy and got to be in the back after 14 years, the floor scripling section and widespread corruption, cities economy is enjoyed. much like it's, it would be try to look, i've done administration. it's trying to rebuild the challenges. i can fit a collab cut on storing information and millions of people in need of humanitarian assistance. the position of government is promising reform reconstruction, tax overall and for an invest with both international function,

then it's nice. and this does a for everywhere. how long the company takes say with the city of new finance minister in the day it talks about the there the mr mohammed up is a finance minister for students in gym 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, described to us. what is the state of city as economy? let's no auto him. come on in the name of the law. what am i to disclose as everyone knows, on the 8th of december 2020 full. the loading might have helped us to topple the equipment to redeem. since the day after we went into the institutions of the country used to be led by the previous regime,

ford. and honestly speaking, we were surprised because we know before yes, that these, those that uses run by the previous redeem with the be paid and i was having a lot of problems. but it didn't have a come to mind. let me know that 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. by the time we look for that, that's not gonna keep on it and we didn't get an accurate number because of the lack of the reco. we would also surprised enough that the company is in the economic offset,

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 moment 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 c 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, uh, that was, i bought a lot of things and they moved them 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 called in a, in the next stage to go to work. and 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 what will 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 can 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 come some flip. all was on the taxation system and then what has happened to have the sofa these that it will be in union? the it's, and with that the is the, the you for that has lifted some the items from there will be in sections. but they don't have a significant impact on the so does that for your opinion. and it was the band on the impulse of all inspect the equipment and the instructions on the finance and banking sectors and the cleaning allies. companies that open branches and syria. but they will be in union that 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 thought we did 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 the and we have seen the seriousness fee

in helping our country and support and see the with modern technology let's with these, etc, without going 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 walk in the coming period. but honestly and frankly, we also count on it's done that simple because of that. and if the senses unload the lifted, let the estimate of and if the the, it's the middle. so food is not provided by this alone, 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. and then for these investments, 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 rehabilitate these companies in a way that can be useful, we can make use of some developing fixed, but this 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 are 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? so it is uh, oil and gas industry because it used to be at least a 3rd of your economy. another 3rd used to be agriculture. so just those 2 sectors could resurrect the syrian economy. so what's the plan? we've talked at the beginning of the ends of you about the sense is related to our inspector. there are some thanks and have gotten going 2nd,

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 in the news, it may be the result of the politically old men to tabulate on study and the come into the lives of the end of the, the as economist or as the minister of finance. we look forward to the situation that the next one, it is a solution, and then the cuts the region will lead to the syrian leadership. the other has said to watch more than once, that it will not be satisfied in the end except with the one united. see, therefore, there is also that will be in the region is the for, did as load, has with the end of the this also is, must be bought in the syrian originally, you know, has the, that story. let's talk about the 2nd people that are people who are going to be looking at this. and then they need to know, 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? so i've never met this abdomen goodman the moment the 8 are you will start with what you a little did the live only been and power 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 a certain group on the bottom and follow up to live i dis size the employment for

them and the redeem in 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 by individuals of those paper. anyhow, let me in a couple of the guarding 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 finance, and that was i have seen a lot that kind of focused on 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 forget. yes. this is on the do a. so the new modern technology,

it needs only 50 percent of those people employed by the previous regina and i have a problem and out of basically the problem. now when i go to a place in that the, for example, the need 5 employees, i see 10 employees who will be there doing that job. this is a job like an employee is in offices that the work doesn't need. if i want to a 3 is when it just i must and disrupt the. the biggest problem in this connection is of the employee who is the full time. you can log and sack this employee only plan not con, flat. his. you can look cats in his contract because then you know, you go to the low on the phone, the tie in the permanent employees cannot besides with out exceptional,

this is an old, if he reach the age of the pension coming up. and this is how can you still owe this problem? no, there are so many ways, for example, these the be below these employees and, and then we don't need them actually, you know, 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 still in the, 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 good 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 countries. 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 the, on a daily basis. we are getting more assets. the, this is because the, the absence of the, of the resources that of, and this the well 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 $29.00 d. 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 list and older 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 was 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 copeland is wage. so how do, uh, how does resided over by such a buzz, those who go to the edge the degrees in 2 months, we try to solve a, 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 inquiries when we went on when we arrived them at damascus. and the new administration, donald said that will be the southern agrees, 100 percent and then welcome. this was

a necessity because of the hardships and the syrians have see kind of the employee was used to say the salary, you'll know is enough only for 2 or 3 days. so we decided them to do that and we'll give them the salary increase the young come and be full even enough. but on having all that that the gotten into the country this so really agree is that fine is there. uh well that in the, in the whole month we need to do some take a look at framing my part because we need to discuss the details to cover all the public sector involved in of this. and we will increase the seller. is these the foot on the percent? and at the end of the day, you know, or beginning as a said, don't remember of february. if we made these 100, if i had restructure, i'm thinking no, we finish this restructuring. and so many of the things in so many minutes is that

have not yet been determined. the minutes is, and the problem is that 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 then or not, i have noticed a lot of requests and then the other 2 month page and then follow, believe it again, the paid annual leave in my office on the describe these were the was how the people who are not inside the country. they are the only buses who go out for that can cause the sellers let their own. 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 us to work in

some of the places. and we don't know about the jobs over there. no, no, no. well, the, the team up into the phone, they came to us of the said and they, they, we are here with a new love is out in that room in who is not happy for the weekend, more than paid salary increase in the such amount. well, without knowing who and good luck 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 anymore, but we need to do the reconstruction. and we need to put those people to a how in, so of places uh, if we decide to, to give him

a subsidy with the other benefits. we need him to be helpful. we need him to be owed to 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 doctor said with 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 the complete way on. so 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 the box of the investments owned by the country to the investors that can kind of from inside syria to those the 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 thing with the new goes to the fusion during the coming period on the product security wise on a daily basis we are fully but the remnants of the previous lives in the so go to would be all over 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. and then the next day people's feelings about security and safety and have seen death in damascus to the level in other countries as well. if that is due for the countries stay in this situation for months, and 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 there, like 80 percent so many videos and these people know science that can say investments would be safe. yeah. we have the discussions, 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. one came on you 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 space that'd be let the to come by. 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 worth of them now? to make a long story short of the sing for the currency comes from the economy on a and this and balances to date, for example, the ceiling layer, right? it was the dean, do it off when the is $13000.00 long. there was on the market, but the difference is big and we all know that this is not a real difference and a 100 you the serial pounds or the seem to leave it today. it depends on 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. you know, how did you do also the fact that the 2 or 3 coming months during this period in the probably we can see on the see over the letter or the syrian found is through

the text that how it and the with the food and then the syrian liter 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 back, i think on the ceiling, that lira when i've got to be wrong done and then it situation. and then in 2011 would be $1.00. it was 3. there was before, you know, part of the former team for that in a i'm, i'm sure that with disability, you know, with the political, just a bit of the ceiling and there will be strong death and it will be as you do it with all the thought i thought with, you know what, we have
