RIYADH: Jordan and Syria are expected to strengthen bilateral cooperation and exchange expertise in the banking and financial sectors, as central bank governors of both nations prepare for official meetings in the coming days.
Speaking to Jordan News Agency, also known as Petra, Adel Sharkas, governor of the Central Bank of Jordan, said that the meetings will reinforce cooperation between both countries in areas including banking supervision, financial technology, and financial inclusion.
Sharkas made these comments ahead of the visit of Abdul Qader Hasriya, governor of the Central Bank of Syria, who is scheduled to arrive in Jordan on Dec. 3.
In November, a delegation from the Central Bank of Syria concluded a visit to the Banking Studies Institute and the Jordanian FinTech Academy to review Jordan’s experience in developing institutional structures and strengthening regulatory and technical frameworks in the financial sector.
Citing Sharkas, Petra reported that the “meetings will showcase Jordan’s banking and financial expertise to the Syrian delegation and explore opportunities for Jordanian-Syrian partnerships that support Syria’s economic reconstruction.”
