Officials said on Wednesday that Syria would cut subsidies for basic goods such as bread and petrol to about 800,000 of its wealthy citizens by the end of this year to help reduce the government’s financial burden.
The move will affect high-income earners working in the private sector so they can buy basic items with ration cards at lower prices.
“The government will continue to support those who deserve it, and its decision is not to lose any deserving citizen,” Commerce Minister Amar Salem told a news conference.
“Attempts are being made to exclude those who are not eligible for support by the end of the year … There are groups that do not need support, and the ministry has set criteria for groups that are excluded from support,” he said.
In a country with a population of more than 18 million, Salem said the removal of subsidies would help the poor, whose economy has been hit hard by a decade-long war and whose salaries and subsidies make up the bulk of public spending.
The government has sharply increased the salaries of public sector employees as inflation has risen. According to the World Bank and independent economists, the Syrian economy has shrunk by about 60% since the start of the war.
