According to the publication, following the collapse of the Syrian dictator Assad's regime, Syria has witnessed a diverse influx of imported goods into its local markets.
Specifically, the capital Damascus now features stores filled with various products, ranging from Turkish bottled water and Saudi food items to chocolate candies like Twix and Snickers, as well as Pepsi and other international beverage brands.
To bolster the economy, the new government announced the introduction of the dollar in the country and approved a new set of unified customs duties, which will be reduced by 50-60%.
They also explained that this decision aims to facilitate imports to support local producers as part of efforts to enhance economic activity and stimulate the industry.
It is worth noting that about a week ago, the EU's High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Kaja Kallas, stated that at the end of January, EU foreign ministers will meet in Brussels. They will discuss the possibility of lifting sanctions on Syria.
