Syria Authorizes Banks to Collaborate with Visa and Mastercard
Syria has granted authorization for its banks to collaborate with Visa and Mastercard as part of its ongoing efforts to reintegrate into the global economy. This decision aligns with the European Union’s recent agreement to restore more comprehensive trade relations with Damascus.

This announcement comes amid a backdrop of evolving diplomatic relations as Syria seeks to stabilize its economy in the wake of prolonged conflicts and international sanctions.
