The Small Financing in Syria

The small financing in Syria was not till recent years paid attention by the Syrian government, but that experience which was welcomed in a number of the neighboring countries, has started to invade the Syrian economy lately, specially by the UN which established with the UNRWA two units for small finances that offer financial aids for the poorest social strata in the society.
The Syrian cabinet has agreed to grant Agha Khan Agency for Small Finances a permission to contribute in establishing a private banking establishment by the name of The Establishment of Small Finances through the form of a joint stock corporation that aims at offering small finances with a total capital of 250 million Syrian pounds.
