IMF ready to support Syria’s economic recovery: Kristalina Georgieva
Kristalina Georgieva, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), stated on Monday that the IMF is ready to support Syria’s economic recovery.
In a post on X, Georgieva said, “It was a privilege to welcome President Ahmad al-Sharaa to the IMF. We discussed the economic transformation Syrians need and deserve.”
She praised the Syrian government’s efforts to make the transformation possible, expressing the IMF’s readiness to assist, including through existing technical support for key institutions.
During President al-Sharaa’s visit to Washington, he met with Georgieva at the IMF headquarters in Washington on Sunday. They discussed opportunities for cooperation in developing Syria’s economy.
The first mission from the IMF’s Fiscal Affairs Department (FAD) traveled to Damascus in late October for a five-day visit to discuss technical assistance in preparing the national budget and improving government financial management.
This trip followed Syria’s participation in the IMF and World Bank annual meetings in Washington, where agreements were reached on various technical assistance programs.
