BlockBeats news, on January 2, a Syrian non-governmental organization called on the country's new leadership to consider establishing a banking system based on the Bitcoin network and related technologies. In its policy proposal, the Syrian Center for Economic Research (SCER) believes that such a system is crucial for accelerating reconstruction efforts and protecting Syrians from the impacts of inflation and currency devaluation. This proposal is referred to as 'Bitcoin Policy in Syria.'
The newly appointed de facto president Ahmed al-Sharaa, who took office in December 2024, is seeking international recognition to obtain reconstruction funds. SCER reminds the government that it will face challenges such as sanctions, technology, and debts from previous administrations, while also calling for the avoidance of high-interest loans and inflationary monetary policies to ensure citizens' rights to self-custody of digital assets.
