Syrian industrialists in the face of the siege .. And lift the siege
Economy today:
The Damascus Chamber of Industry and its countryside submitted a memorandum of proposed solutions to the government that includes a set of items that it considered would reduce the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on the industry, especially since controlling these fluctuations does not seem easy in light of the great pressures on the lira.
The memorandum included ways to advance the reality of industrial production and open export prospects to it in light of the current circumstances in which the country suffers from a severe and unprecedented blockade and where moving the production wheel seems the first line of defense against sanctions, especially after the approval of the Caesar Law ..
The memo focuses on the liberalization of industry and all the joints of production from the difficulties and obstacles that it suffers from, especially with regard to securing raw materials and facilitating their import operations, then securing export markets for them and benefiting from the Abu Kamal and Nassib crossings, which opens the door for Syrian products in all Gulf countries.
The memorandum included many points that the government actually started dealing with, but it seems that some distortion has received some of these proposals, especially with regard to the supplies that must be frozen in the banking system, which caused pressure on the industrialists as it was reported from them, obliging the importers to supply 40%, but it is Obstruction of the industrialists ’current situation,“ as the industrialists themselves say, ”not a facilitation, especially since the proposal was to replace the 10% dollar bill with 15% in Syria, which happened that the proposal was taken, but after an increase of 25% on the supply, this matter will have negative effects that will start to appear in the coming months. According to industrialists demanding some The necessity of reviewing this decision quickly, at least with regard to the requirements of industry.
Now whatever the points demanded by the Damascus Chamber of Industry and its countryside that certainly meet the demands of all other chambers of industry and of course with the vision of the Federation of Syrian Chambers of Industry and where industrialists and producers gather that a broad and serious movement must be done to save the industry from stopping and stagnation, especially since there are laboratories It started to stop under the influence of simple causes that could have been avoided, for example, 11 factories in a Kurdish hill were stopped due to building violations, although the industrialists were taking light of the construction and repair provided that it was not on the territory of the state. Also, electricity prosecutions for bills dating back to the period of demolition and stopping may be a reason for To close all this in light of the repeated customs pressures on the warehouses of the industrialists and their factories, and we did not talk about the supply and finance that have been mobilized all at once and in a manner that does not appear to be consistent, as the industrialists say, and they have all started organizing their patrols towards the factories, researching as they say about the rights of the grief ... the treasury rights that are lost in many of the Sometimes bribes, gratuities and exits? According to what the Danaites themselves say?
We are all with the state’s treasury obtaining its rights, but what can be seen these days is an unorganized and ill-considered case of collection, and where the collection of those rights should have been studied within a framework that is clearer and more sensitive to the overall conditions of industrialists ..
In these lines, we can hardly pass on the small part of what the industrialists say. This arranges the establishment of a real dialogue between the government and the industrialists in order to agree and agree to support the industry and prevent any obstruction or repression to it, in a way that wastes efforts made in previous years, and Syria has begun to feel its economic and industrial recovery.
Recovering we seem most in need at this stage and where the money and efforts that can be directed towards the existing and new industry and factories seem a million times more important than the money that can be collected in the way it is today while making sure that we are not against the Treasury collecting its rights but not the way it is now. Today we must witness real mobility, discussion and cooperation between the relevant government agencies and the industrialists to launch a process of real dialogue and cooperation leading to the revitalization of the industry, especially since all solutions are known and proposed, and some of them have taken decisions regarding it but have not yet been implemented and most of them are decisions related to the Ministry of Finance. Why? We are talking about the decisions taken at the industrial conference held in Aleppo, and the Ministry of Finance did not implement the decisions related to it, according to the head of the Syrian Federation of Chambers of Industry Fares Shihabi?
In this difficult time and in these complex circumstances, production and the pursuit of self-sufficiency appear to be a powerful weapon and even spent in the face of the blockade, sanctions, and even war
Syria today needs to seize all its capabilities and deal with all conditions that would operate the factories and attract capital to the industrial sector because it is a guarantee of a strong economy and is able to face the blockade, which means organizing the collection process and framing it properly away from any manifestation of "achievement" corruption and focusing on attracting Funds to be used to establish, expand and operate factories
Whenever the state can direct the funds, whether the Syrians money at home or through loans from banks or by attracting foreign and foreign capitals, it thus strengthens its ability to rebuild its economy based on real capabilities to achieve self-sufficiency, which will help it in dealing with the conditions of the siege and sanctions from the position of strength?
Margin 1: As we said above, the funds that the government and its collection agencies can bring and direct toward the productive sector are more important and more important than the money they collect?
Margin 2: It is important to pay attention to not pushing the industrialists to hide their money in homes and under the slab after the state worked long to get it out from under the same slab and direct it towards the banking system and then towards production and investment
Margin 3: It is also important not to push the industrialists to respond to the temptations that other countries provide to Syrians who have the capital to work and invest in, and what Egypt is doing. An example of what we say?
Margin 4: Supporting the industry does not include items that are implemented and others that are not. What the industry needs for recovery and recovery is an integrated whole, nothing of which can be reduced.
