Syria's central bank retains 26 tons of gold despite war, but foreign currency reserves have plummeted.
Despite the civil war and fall of Assad's regime, Syria's central bank still holds nearly 26 tons of gold reserves, the same amount it had in 2011.
However, its foreign currency reserves have dropped significantly from $14 billion in 2011 due to spending on food, fuel, and war efforts.
The gold is securely kept in the central bank's vault, which requires three keys and a code for access.
