IMF says it stands ready to provide Syria with technical assistanceThe International Monetary Fund (IMF) said on Thursday it was ready to provide Syria with technical support after the United States and the European Union announced a lifting of sanctions on the country. "Syria will need significant assistance to rebuild its economic institutions," said Kozack. "We stand ready to provide advice and targeted and well prioritized technical assistance in our areas of expertise." Kozack added the Fund expects the lifting of sanctions to support the country's efforts to overcome economic challenges and advance reconstruction. The IMF undertook its last Article IV assessment of economic policies of Syria in 2009.
