00:01:45Welcome back. The Central Bank of Syria
00:01:48executed its first documentary credit for
00:01:52a deal to supply oil products with major
00:01:54the price of the chicken today international companies. The bank clarified
00:01:57that it concluded the first
00:02:00the Central Bank is indeed deal for the supply of
00:02:01local production and its energy oil products between the Syrian Petroleum Company and Saudi
00:02:0530,000 barrels of Aramco, opening a new path
00:02:08to secure oil supplies to Syria through
00:02:11direct commercial and banking arrangements.
00:02:15emphasizing that insistence on to cover a very large part of The bank pointed out that this development
00:02:17reflects the role of the Central Bank of Syria in preparing the necessary
00:02:22Syria relies on banking channels to finance strategic trade
00:02:25and coordinating the documentary procedures with the relevant
00:02:30much. There are big differences for the citizen, parties. For its part,
00:02:32affected the economy, the Syrian Petroleum Company said that this
00:02:37liras, and the market rises for them. million dollars per month, step is important to strengthen mechanisms for financing oil supplies and open more
00:02:40effective channels for commercial
00:02:43transactions.
00:02:48The Syrian Petroleum Company
00:02:50And through this reported that 15 tankers
00:02:53loaded with refined oil products are currently
00:02:57in waiting areas to complete entry
00:03:00and unloading procedures through
00:03:02From a technical perspective, Syrian terminals and ports. The Syrian Oil Company
00:03:06stated in a statement to SANA
00:03:09that among the tankers, six
00:03:13the rise in the dollar are loaded with diesel and nine
00:03:15are loaded with gasoline. It indicated that these
00:03:19Syria's full solidarity with
00:03:19that prevents these crises supplies come within the framework of continuous efforts
00:03:22to secure the needs of the local market and enhance
00:03:26the availability of refined
00:03:29it is greatly affecting oil products.
00:03:43is having a big impact on
00:03:49Airport, stressing that this
00:03:55of disconnection
00:03:57from this type of operation,
00:04:16Airport in Riyadh To discuss this further, we are joined by economic expert Dr. Mahmoud Abdel
00:04:20authorities in the Syrian Karim, live from Dubai. First, welcome
00:04:22Dr. Mahmoud. So, what is the importance of the success
00:04:26of the Central Bank of Syria in executing the first
00:04:29documentary credit with a large company like Saudi
00:04:35we bring expensive goods. When the dollar falls Aramco? Good morning to you and the dear
00:04:38viewers. This step
00:04:40is being verified in coordination represents a great development in Syria's return
00:04:44discourse reserve. That is, we must always to international banking transactions, and its importance is that it doesn't
00:04:46guarantee the existence of this affect the import of oil derivatives
00:04:49from a company the size of Saudi Aramco, but rather
00:04:52it relates to rebuilding trust in the Syrian banking system and opening official
00:04:56channels to be able to finance foreign trade,
00:05:00especially after the long years of restrictions
00:05:03and financial difficulties. That is, today, the Central Bank announced
00:05:07that it carried out the first documentary credit operation in
00:05:1014 years in favor of the Syrian Petroleum Company to supply
00:05:14oil derivatives from Aramco Company, which is affiliated with Saudi Aramco,
00:05:17and of course, this was in coordination with a major American bank.
00:05:21Here, we are not talking only about a commercial agreement, but rather
00:05:25we are talking about an actual banking operation through
00:05:28channels, through international channels, and this is
00:05:31the most important aspect of the news. And the documentary credit, just
00:05:35to simplify it for the viewer, it is a commitment
00:05:38from the bank to pay the value of the goods to the supplier
00:05:42when they submit the required documents proving shipment
00:05:45according to the terms and contract. This mechanism
00:05:48reduces the risk of non-payment for the supplier and provides
00:05:52importers with guarantees related to the documents
00:05:55and helps regulate the import process more effectively,
00:05:58because in recent years, the Syrian
00:06:02difficulties in making transfers and external
00:06:06payments. Therefore, some import operations were conducted
00:06:09through intermediaries and complex
00:06:13financial arrangements. However, direct dealings with a company
00:06:16the size of Aramco and through organized banking channels
00:06:20will greatly help reduce some of these costs and improve
00:06:24the system and the arrival of oil derivatives,
00:06:31needs. I wanted to ask you about this point:
00:06:35affect the availability of oil derivatives and their prices
00:06:38also within Syria? That is, it will certainly have an impact on the availability
00:06:42of these derivatives, won't it?
00:06:46There is no doubt about that. There is no doubt that it will have
00:06:49an impact on derivatives, and this is one of the most important direct
00:06:52expected effects of this agreement, because it will help improve
00:06:56the availability of oil derivatives in the Syrian market and reduce the chances
00:06:59of shortages of gasoline and fuel oil, especially
00:07:03if this operation turns into regular supplies and not just
00:07:06a single deal. We all know that Syria
00:07:10suffers from a large gap between
00:07:13needs, because needs reach
00:07:17oil, while local crude oil production
00:07:20hovers around 10,000 barrels. This means
00:07:23imports will remain necessary
00:07:27the demand, with the need to distinguish between crude oil and refined
00:07:30products. Most importantly,
00:07:34imports to secure about 74% of
00:07:38its fuel oil needs and about 81% of gasoline.
00:07:43Therefore, according to these announced figures
00:07:46and these very high percentages, it means
00:07:50that any delay in the arrival of shipments will certainly be reflected
00:07:53very quickly in the availability of fuel at distribution
00:07:56stations and in activities such as transportation,
00:08:00industry, and agriculture.
00:08:03accreditation or this agreement, we will overcome
00:08:06a gasoline crisis every now and then, as is currently happening,
00:08:10isn't it?
00:08:15yes, from a technical perspective, yes, and this is what can make
00:08:18a real difference for the Syrian market, because the problem
00:08:21is, the problem is not just securing a shipment of gasoline or diesel
00:08:25when a crisis occurs, but rather it is about building
00:08:29a stable supply structure
00:08:32from recurring in the first place. Syria has been suffering for years from a recurring
00:08:35problem, which is the supply of oil derivatives that does
00:08:38not always match the volume of local consumption. Therefore,
00:08:42when a shipment is delayed or a payment operation is disrupted,
00:08:46the available quantities start to decrease,
00:08:49and you see congestion at fuel stations.
00:08:52And the numbers, as we mentioned, show that we
00:08:55have a huge problem, meaning we have a problem
00:08:58in covering Syria, because Syria relies on imports for about
00:09:0281% for gasoline and
00:09:0574% for fuel oil.
00:09:09But I believe that the letter
00:09:13of credit alone is not enough to prevent crises. There are three things
00:09:16that must be achieved with it: first, the regular arrival
00:09:19of shipments, as you mentioned,
00:09:23and the availability of an appropriate strategic reserve, and improving
00:09:27storage, transportation, and distribution capacity within Syria.
00:09:30That is, if we just take an example, if Syria's
00:09:34consumption is 8 million liters per day, if there
00:09:37is a reserve covering 15 days, it needs about
00:09:41120 million liters. And if the coverage
00:09:44is increased to 30 days, we are talking about 240 million
00:09:48liters, and these are illustrative calculations just for the size
00:09:51of the required reserve, meaning these are not figures for the currently available
00:09:58reserve. This is 100%
00:10:01accurate, because the reserve always seeks
00:10:05to address the issue. That is, addressing the crisis
00:10:08requires prior planning, and not just the arrival
00:10:12of scattered shipments, as well as the
00:10:15reserve needs financing and storage
00:10:18spaces and large operational capacity. Also, there is another point,
00:10:22if you allow me, a significant financial aspect.
00:10:25Because the bill for crude oil and its derivatives imports,
00:10:28as the Minister of Energy stated in the People's Assembly,
00:10:32was estimated at about 831 million dollars per
00:10:36month. Therefore, stable supplies require regular
00:10:39financing and the availability of foreign currencies, not
00:10:43just signing agreements with suppliers.
00:10:45And I believe that the mistake that should be avoided
00:10:49is moving from one crisis to
00:10:52another and then dealing with each crisis yesterday as an emergency.
00:10:56What is required today is that the Syrian Petroleum Company has
00:10:59a clear monthly supply plan and has
00:11:03a strategic reserve and a stable banking mechanism
00:11:07that ensures the execution of payments
00:11:09on time. These points that you mentioned,
00:11:12are they really being studied by the Central
00:11:16Bank?
00:11:20Well, our problem is always the lack of transparency.
00:11:24Now, it is supposed that studying market needs
00:11:27and supply sources is a fundamental part of the work
00:11:30of the Central Bank in coordination with the Ministry
00:11:34of Energy and the Syrian Petroleum Company. But let's distinguish
00:11:37between the responsibilities of these institutions. The Central
00:11:40Bank is responsible for the monetary aspect, including
00:11:44payment mechanisms and providing the necessary channels
00:11:47for external transfers, while the responsibility
00:11:51for determining the quantities of gasoline and fuel oil and delivery
00:11:56authorities in the sector. What I see today
00:11:58is that the study should not be limited
00:12:02to how to finance. We are focusing only on how the financing
00:12:05is done, meaning that the opening of a letter of
00:12:08credit must include import needs
00:12:12during the coming months and the necessary dollar
00:12:15sources to cover it and the ability
00:12:18of banks to execute payments in a regular
00:12:21manner. And according to what was announced,
00:12:25working with the Syrian Petroleum Company to develop
00:12:29financial and documentary arrangements
00:12:32to be able to continue supplying. However, there are no
00:12:36published details yet
00:12:39that prove the existence of a complete plan that specifies the monthly
00:12:42financing amount, nor the delivery dates for shipments, nor the quantities
00:12:45that will arrive in the market. And here, I believe that financial
00:12:49planning must be linked to oil planning.
00:12:53That is, if the oil and its derivatives import bill
00:12:56reaches 831
00:13:00it is necessary to know how these
00:13:03needs will be financed continuously, and not just
00:13:07how a letter of credit will be opened for a single deal.
00:13:10And the real test of the success of these arrangements is the availability
00:13:14of foreign currencies on time and the arrival of shipments
00:13:17without any delay, or the decline
00:13:21of recurring gasoline and fuel oil crises, or their return.
00:13:24So, the success of the Central Bank is not measured only
00:13:28by the execution of the banking operation, but rather by the extent
00:13:31of its contribution to stable supplies and in cooperation with the responsible
00:13:35authorities for energy. In your opinion, does
00:13:39this agreement today or this credit that
00:13:42the Central Bank executed reflect greater regional
00:13:45confidence in the Syrian Bank now?
00:13:48And is it possible that we will see other credits in different
00:13:52sectors in your opinion in the next
00:13:56enhances regional confidence, but it is important to distinguish
00:13:59between gradually restoring confidence and fully restoring
00:14:02it. We are facing a positive banking step
00:14:06that has economic significance, no one denies that,
00:14:09but it alone is not enough to judge the strength of the Syrian banking system
00:14:12or its ability to deal with all regional and international
00:14:16banks. That is, after 14 years
00:14:22the Central Bank announced that it carried out this
00:14:25documentary credit operation to import oil
00:14:28derivatives with Aramco in coordination with an American
00:14:31bank. This operation certainly gives a signal
00:14:35that there is a possibility to resume Syrian
00:14:39commercial transactions through official banking
00:14:42channels, which is a very important matter for suppliers
00:14:46and banks in the region. Banking confidence, as you
00:14:49mentioned, is not built only on political relations
00:14:53and signing agreements, but also on the ability of
00:14:57banks to fulfill financial obligations and adhere
00:15:00to international rules and settle payments and, most
00:15:03importantly, the availability of necessary information about the source of
00:15:07funds and the nature of commercial operations. Thank you very
00:15:11much, Dr. Mahmoud Abdel Karim, economic expert, who was with
00:15:15us live from Dubai.
00:15:27The Syrian pound recorded a new decline in
00:15:31the exchange market against the dollar and foreign
00:15:34currencies after it witnessed a rapid decline during
00:15:38The pound's price dropped to 141
00:15:42against the US dollar, due to external
00:15:45and internal factors, including
00:15:47the repercussions of raising the prices of oil
00:15:51derivatives.
00:15:55Syria TV monitored the opinions of residents in Damascus
00:15:59city regarding the rise in the dollar
00:16:03prices and the purchasing power of citizens, in
00:16:06addition to its impact on
00:16:09markets.
00:16:15The dollar has raised everything. Prices of food
00:16:19and essential goods in the daily lives of citizens. We,
00:16:22the people, have endured 14 years of war. People need money
00:16:25to live. The price of electricity has risen, the price of
00:16:28water, the price of bread. Now the price of fuel and gasoline has risen, which has also raised
00:16:31all prices. The citizen cannot afford to live. We need the dollar
00:16:35price to drop so that people can live. That is, it is certainly
00:16:39a bad indicator and negatively affects
00:16:42the life of the citizen because the citizen means everything is expensive.
00:16:46Prices are high, fuel and all prices are
00:16:49high. So the citizen doesn't need
00:16:51more expensive things.
00:16:54That means, the situation is that
00:16:57it's one price today, and a higher price tomorrow.
00:17:01And on and on. This is really exhausting for the citizen. I
00:17:05travel every now and then, meaning I come every now and then,
00:17:09and I find prices are high due to the rise in the dollar price. So I hope
00:17:13the economic situation improves. The impact of the exchange rate today
00:17:16is very significant on us. For example, today
00:17:19you find an item
00:17:22costs 20, and the next day we find it at 25. Of course, the employee today
00:17:25barely earns a salary of a million or so,
00:17:28or their income or salary is a million or a little more. But today,
00:17:32how will the citizen live? On what basis will the
00:17:36citizen live? We, today, as a citizen, I am a laborer.
00:17:39I work, I eat; I don't work,
00:17:43I don't eat. How about the employee, or a driver, or an ordinary
00:17:46worker? Of course, the exchange rate will affect us. It affects
00:17:50us as clothing vendors. For example, we used to bring
00:17:53a commodity at a certain price when it was 1000 pounds, or let's
00:17:57say the 1000 pounds on the new currency. Now we have to raise the price of the commodity.
00:18:00The citizen really doesn't have the ability to pay for a pair of pants or
00:18:03a shirt at high prices. So it
00:18:09the market in general. This price and the fluctuation of
00:18:13the exchange rate affect us. Now, whether it goes down or up, it affects us.
00:18:17Now the market is a little bit up, but we, I mean,
00:18:20we have a thing that when it starts to go up, everyone
00:18:24rushes to get dollars, meaning it increases its rise.
00:18:27The demand for the dollar increases, even if they don't need it, but it's like
00:18:31they're used to it, or something, that when it starts to go up, everyone
00:18:35rushes to get dollars. When it starts to go down, everyone rushes to demand Syrian pounds. So this
00:18:38increase in demand immediately affects its exchange
00:18:41rate.
00:18:45In Homs, Syria TV also monitored the effects of
00:18:50exchange rate on prices, purchasing power, and
00:18:53market activity.
00:19:01Well, regarding the situation of the pound and its decline, today
00:19:06the market we are in. That is, today, yesterday
00:19:10the pound was 138,
00:19:14and it reached 139. Today we opened
00:19:16at 141. So this
00:19:20customers. Those who want to sell Syrian
00:19:24pounds today and buy dollars, we are suffering a lot with them.
00:19:28That is, there should be a solution
00:19:31to the issue or we should stabilize
00:19:33the pound's price.
00:19:41The lira is declining. This greatly affects the economic
00:19:45situation in the country, and you see the situation,
00:19:48meaning high prices, high prices of goods,
00:19:51high prices for traders, and traders immediately take advantage of this
00:19:54point. They immediately raise prices. When the lira
00:19:58falls, it improves, but nothing improves.
00:20:00يتحسن
00:20:05Our work depends on the dollar because three of our products
00:20:09come from abroad. When the dollar rises,
00:20:13by 100 liras, the goods do not fall at all. They remain the same.
00:20:16Customers come to us and are surprised why the goods are expensive and the dollar has fallen.
00:20:20This greatly affected our work. This greatly affected
00:20:24us. We can't do anything else.
00:20:25How do they support it?
00:20:29Syria TV also monitored the opinions of residents in
00:20:32Latakia city regarding the rise in the dollar exchange
00:20:35rate and its repercussions on living
00:20:38costs.
00:20:45It has all affected the market. Work is completely stopped, and gasoline
00:20:49has also affected us. The scarcity
00:20:52affected the market.
00:20:55The goods are decreasing, and our profits are also decreasing. That is, it's not just that the goods
00:20:59are decreasing, but profits are also decreasing. We don't have any profit margin left for us.
00:21:02That is, as traders, we don't have a profit margin, and sales are
00:21:06sales are almost non-existent. That is, you bring goods, you sell
00:21:10one or two or three sales, for example, with a profit, and then everything is at a loss,
00:21:13below its capital. As soon as the dollar price rises,
00:21:17prices immediately rise by themselves. It's inevitable. Immediately
00:21:20all goods rose immediately. All goods rose, and when it falls,
00:21:24it's the same thing. Even if the dollar falls, prices
00:21:27remain high on their own. They just hear that the dollar has risen, and they rise on their own. It affects
00:21:31generally because the salaries
00:21:33Syrian pounds, and there are no increases. Salaries are limited.
00:21:37Today, the dollar is rising, and all food items are rising with it, and all food
00:21:40commodities are rising with it, and all goods are rising, and this
00:21:44will inevitably affect the citizen in this matter. That is, today,
00:21:47when your salary is, for example, a million,
00:21:50a million and a half, let's say 100 dollars,
00:21:51what will you do with 100 dollars today in this situation?
00:21:54We also monitored the opinions of residents in Idlib
00:21:58city regarding the rise in the dollar
00:22:01purchasing power of citizens and market
00:22:04activity.
00:22:10The fluctuation in the exchange rate is what is affecting us greatly. Today,
00:22:13each person or each vendor exchanges the currency as
00:22:16they wish. This is what the citizen is suffering from greatly. For example,
00:22:20100 Syrian pounds, he calculates it at
00:22:2335. You go to another person, he calculates it at 28. You go to another
00:22:27one, so this is greatly affecting the citizen in terms of the exchange
00:22:30rate. You know the high prices that are currently happening.
00:22:33So the market situation is zero. For example, when
00:22:37we go to buy a chicken or sugar or something,
00:22:40you tell the grocer or the seller, for example,
00:22:44is, let's say, 150 Turkish Liras or 130 or so,
00:22:48then you come to pay him.
00:23:00The price is very bad, and
00:23:03we cannot buy because
00:23:06of these differences. It has greatly affected us. You go to buy
00:23:10a kilo of sugar, its price is something completely
00:23:13different. That is, it doesn't decrease.
