11 February 2026.
The transition from the banknotes of 1,000; 2,000 and 5,000 old pounds to the redenominated ones of 10; 25; 50; 100; 200 and 500 new Syrian pounds has proven to be less than perfect.
Banks seem not to have enough new notes to supply their clients, and there are long lines to exchange old notes.
The daily limit of 75 million pounds per client is not respected by some banks, while other flatly refuse to redeem old notes unless the holder opens an account.
As usual common folk have a hard time getting their old money exchanged, while friends of the bank manager have no problem.
