🇪🇺 European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde slapped down on Thursday a suggestion by her Czech colleague Ales Michl to include bitcoin among his country's official reserves.

While the Czech Republic does not use the euro, it is part of the European Union and therefore its central bank sits on the ECB's General Council, which is chaired by Lagarde and advises member states on financial policy.

EU really goes all in against bitcoin. Although, lately almost all the bets the EU made failed and went the opposite direction.

🇸🇾 The new Syrian government is undertaking a shock therapy program, which includes plans to fire a third of all public sector workers and privatising state-run companies dominant during half a century of Assad family rule.

The declared crackdown on waste and corruption, which has already seen the first layoffs, has triggered protests from government workers, including over fears of a sectarian jobs purge. The government will also work on privatising state-run industrial companies, which Basil Abdel Hanan said totalled 107 and were mostly loss making. However, he vowed to keep strategic energy and transport assets in public hands.

According to recent statistics, only 900,000 of 1.3 million public servants actually come to work, economy minister Mohammed Abazeed said, citing a preliminary review. He also stated that the new public administration would need only about 600,000 servants and he will work based on the Idlib model, which attracted more private investments.
