IMF spokesperson Julie Kozack announced on Thursday that the fund is ready to assist Syria in reconstruction efforts alongside the international community, but the situation on the ground remains unstable.
During a regular press conference, she noted that the IMF has had no substantial contact with Syrian authorities since economic consultations in 2009.
She added, “It is too early to conduct an economic assessment. We are closely monitoring the situation and are prepared to support the international community’s efforts to aid in serious reconstruction as needed and when conditions permit.
