Syria expects first transfer with U.S. bank 'within weeks', governor says
By Timour Azhari DAMASCUS (Reuters) -Syria expects to have its first transaction with a U.S. bank "in a matter of weeks", Syrian central bank governor Abdelkader Husriyeh said on Thursday, a day after a high-level meeting between Syrian and U.S. commercial banks. The resumption of transfers between Syrian and U.S. banks would be a key milestone in the push by Syria's new rulers to reintegrate the country into the global financial system after 14 years of civil war. Husriyeh on Wednesday held a virtual conference bringing together Syrian banks, several U.S. banks and U.S. officials, including Washington's Syria Envoy Thomas Barrack, with the aim of speeding up the reconnection of Syria's banking system to the global financial system. This follows U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement in May that all sanctions on Syria would be lifted. That has been followed up with executive orders formally lifting some of the measures. Syria's reintegration into the global financial system would be a major step towards enabling the kind of large financial transactions needed to kickstart its reconstruction and economic activity, and help rein in a highly informal, cash-based economy. Husriyeh extended a formal invitation to U.S. banks to re-establish correspondent banking ties following the ouster of former Syrian strongman Bashar al-Assad, whose crackdown on 2011 protests resulted in Western countries imposing one of the world's strictest sanctions regimes. "We have two clear targets: have U.S. banks set up representative offices in Syria and have transactions resume between Syrian and American banks. I think the latter can happen in a matter of weeks," Husriyeh told Reuters. Among the banks invited to Wednesday's conference were JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley and CitiBank, though it was not immediately clear who attended.

Odd Lots: Gillian Tett on Complex Derivatives and the Fifth Stage of Capitalism
After the GFC, there was a lot of angst over the fact that so much effort and brainpower went into designing complex derivatives, and other financial instruments. Not only was this seen as wasteful, the complexity was deemed to be the heart of the crisis, and therefore bad. But all these years later, looking back, how bad is financial complexity really? What do things look like from the perspective of 2025. On this episode we're joined by Gillian Tett, a columnist at the Financial Times, and also the author of several books including Fool's Gold: The Inside Story of J.P. Morgan and How Wall St. Greed Corrupted Its Bold Dream and Created a Financial Catastrophe. We talked about her reporting on the evolution of financial derivatives, their legacy, what she is concerned about now, and why she sees the world entering into a new, post-neoliberal, fifth stage of capitalism.
