The head of Syria's stock market says the bourse has made adequate contingency plans to enable the continuity of its operations in the event of a US-led military strike.

"Since the unrest began two years ago, we have strengthened our business continuity operations and made sure that the exchange can be operated remotely," said Mamoun Hamdan, the chief executive at the Damascus Securities Exchange (DSE) in a telephone interview.

"I can assure you, that if there is an attack, we will remain open for business, and investors will continue to trade their shares. As long as the internet is working and the central bank is running, then we are OK.""
