Abdul Qader Husariya, governor of the Central Bank of Syria, said on Friday that Syria will not borrow from abroad.
Husariya confirmed that, by order of President Ahmad al-Sharaa, Syria will avoid loans from the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.

Husariya said the government does not intend to peg the currency to the US dollar or euro. Instead, it aims to build a stable economy based on production and exports, without depending on high interest rates or risky investments.
