The session featured Dr. Samir Aita and Dr. Rasha Seroub in an open discussion about the economic challenges facing Syrians, amidst hopes for improving living standards and warnings of risks that may threaten these aspirations.

Rasha Seroub: The Upcoming Phase Will Be Harder

Dr. Rasha Seroub began her talk by stressing that the difficult phase the Syrian economy has gone through is over, but warned that the upcoming challenges could be more complex.

She explained that there are widespread misconceptions about economic concepts and that making necessary economic decisions should fall within the powers of the anticipated transitional government.

During the session, Aita posed fundamental questions about the future of the Syrian economy, including the question of the central bank’s subordination and the fate of previous monopolies, stressing the need to differentiate between the concepts of power and state to achieve sustainable economic stability.

Open Dialogue Stimulates Audience Interaction

The open dialogue lasted for three continuous hours, during which the audience interacted by posing many questions about the future of the Syrian economy. However, the lack of time prevented answering all inquiries in depth, given the complexity of the economic file and the interconnected issues related to it.

In this context, Profile News will continue to publish additional details about this file, based on analyses and conclusions of experts, in an attempt to provide a deeper understanding of the economic challenges facing Syria, emphasizing that addressing these issues cannot be simplified due to their complex and intertwined dimensions that directly affect the lives and future of Syrians
