Officials from the International Monetary Fund, World Bank and key countries met with Syrian authorities this week on efforts to rebuild the war-torn country, emphasizing the need for credible data, IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said on Friday.

Georgieva said rebuilding Syria's central bank and expanding the country's capacity to generate revenue were other key issues addressed during the meeting that took place during the spring meetings of the IMF and World Bank.

Saudi Arabia's Finance Minister Mohammed Al-Jadaan, who chairs the International Monetary and Financial Committee, said he was grateful to the IMF and World Bank for stepping up support for Syria, noting others including Yemen, Palestine and Lebanon would also need help.

The Saudi Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources announced on Tuesday the launch of the Women in Mining Association, a newly established non-profit organization dedicated to empowering Saudi women in the mining sector and enhancing their contribution to the sector’s ongoing transformation.

In addition to workforce development, the association will support women-led entrepreneurial and innovative projects in mining by offering financial and technical assistance. It will also promote innovative solutions that can drive further advancement and sustainability in the sector.

The launch of this association is part of a broader effort to align with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030, particularly those related to economic diversification, women’s empowerment, and strengthening national capabilities across all sectors.
