  • The Syrian interim government, which assumed power after President Bashar al-Assad's fall and escape, announced on Sunday that it will raise the salaries of public sector employees by 400 per cent starting next month.

The Syrian Interim Government (SIG) has announced a significant wage increase for its employees in response to the ongoing economic crisis, as reported by MSN. This decision aims to mitigate the impact of rampant inflation and the devaluation of the Syrian pound. The wage hike, which varies by position, is intended to help public sector workers cope with the rising cost of living. Despite these efforts, the economic situation in Syria remains dire, with the country facing challenges from years of conflict, international sanctions, and a lack of substantial economic recovery. The SIG, which operates in opposition-held areas, continues to struggle with providing basic services and stabilizing the economy amidst these harsh conditions.
