Aleppo, SANA \u2013 The Handcraft Association of Goldsmiths and Jewelry Making of Aleppo put a 1 kg gold bullion bar into circulation on Thursday.<\/p>\n
The Association’s Chairman Abdo Mousalli said in a celebration held on the occasion that this is the first time a 1 kg gold bar is made in Syria.<\/p>\n
By this, Syria is ranked 1st among countries in the Middle East and 15th internationally in terms of making a 1 kg gold bar, according to Mousalli.<\/p>\n
“This is a sign that the national economy is still strong,” he said.<\/p>\n
The new golden bullion bar is 24 karat. It is 12 cm long, 5 cm wide and 1 cm thick.<\/p>\n
A picture of the Syrian map is featured on the bar, with the word “Syria” printed below it, along with the English letters of S and A, the two initial letters starting the words Syria and Aleppo.<\/p>\n
Mousalli estimated the value of the new gold bar at approximately SYP 10.7 million.<\/p>\n
Goldsmith George Farah said the making of the bar took around a year, and it was carried out in cooperation with the administration of the Central Bank of Syria, noting that 25 to 50 1 kg gold bars can be made daily now.<\/p>\n
