Saudi Arabia and Qatar support Syria with $89 million to enhance the public sector and development

In a step that reflects an increasing Arab rapprochement towards supporting stability in Syria, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the State of Qatar signed a joint agreement today, Wednesday, to provide financial support amounting to $89 million allocated for Syrian public sector workers for a duration of three months.

The agreement aims to enhance the inclusiveness of the Syrian financial sector and stimulate sustainable development in state institutions, contributing to improving public services and alleviating the economic burdens on government employees under the current circumstances.

This support comes as part of regional trends to reintegrate Syria into its Arab surroundings and support efforts for economic recovery and infrastructure, amidst official and popular welcome for this initiative that carries humanitarian and developmental dimensions.
