Table summarizing Syria's September 2026 spending circular in three columns: area, measure, and exemptions or conditions. Administrative spending is cut or frozen: travel requires ministerial approval; conferences, hospitality and telecoms are cut to the minimum; purchases of furniture and administrative vehicles stop; fuel allocations for government vehicles fall by 30%, except collective transport, emergency vehicles and those allocated 70 liters or less a month; new leases are barred where a state-owned alternative exists; non-urgent maintenance and external consultancies are deferred. Investment projects are sorted into three tiers: priority projects continue, postponable projects have new spending temporarily suspended, and non-priority projects have new spending stopped, with the Ministry of Finance reclaiming unused funds. Exceptions may cover earlier commitments, advanced-stage projects, externally financed projects and projects with a documented return. Salaries, wages, health, education, water, energy, security, public safety and essential maintenance are fully protected. Savings are pooled by the Ministry of Finance, and entities must report within 15 days.
