It will raise the costs of production and freight in the markets,&#8221; Fares Shehabi, head of the Federation of Industry Room in Syria, said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This would also lead to the stoppage of a number of factories that were already suffering from recession and weakness in exports, especially since many industrial areas had major interruptions in the electrical supply, he pointed out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This comes at a time when the country suffers from a severe shortage of gasoline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Ministry of Petrol and Mineral Resources of the Syrian government promised on Tuesday to pump gasoline during the next two days, after the Baniyas refinery returned to work at full capacity and provided additional quantities of gasoline.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Syrian government-held areas have been experiencing an acute fuel crisis for nearly two months, with many Syrians worried about a lack of fuel with the approaching winter. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":48543,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pgc_sgb_lightbox_settings":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4,2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-48542","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-economy","category-syria"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 -
