AGP Executive Report
Last update: 4 hours agoFuel-Cost Shock in Syria: Syrians are taking to the streets after a sudden decree lifted diesel prices by 40% and petrol by about 28%, with protests and road blockades reported from Aleppo and Idlib to Hama, Daraa and Qamishli; in the northeast, demonstrators even halted the M4 highway near Tal Tamr, while a black market for diesel is reportedly booming as security units intercept tankers heading to unlicensed refineries. Energy Supply Pressure: The government links the hikes to international oil pressures and domestic supply constraints tied to maintenance at the Banias refinery, warning the move could ripple across transport and more than 100 commodities. Politics & Legal Reset: Syria’s parliament voted to abolish the Assad-era “terrorism” court and nullify the legal effects of its rulings, a major early step for the new assembly. Regional Industry Watch: A UNDOF delegation visited southern Quneitra to discuss security demands and help farmers access farmland for the olive harvest season.
