Basel Abdul Aziz (Arabic: باسل عبد العزيز; born 1984) is the current Minister of Economy and Resources in the Syrian Salvation Government and, since December 2024, the Minister of Economy and Foreign Trade in the Syrian transitional government.
Abdul Aziz holds a bachelor’s degree in energy engineering from the University of Aleppo, graduating in 2009. He has also completed advanced courses in economic feasibility studies, strategic planning, and human resource management. Before the Syrian Civil War, he worked as a lecturer at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Aleppo and in the engineering industries of Sheikh Najjar, an industrial area in Aleppo.
During the Syrian civil war, Abdul Aziz managed industrial activities in opposition-controlled areas and worked in various economic sectors, including cash management. His expertise led to his appointment as the Minister of Economy and Resources in the third, fourth, and fifth terms of the Syrian Salvation Government.
In December 2024, following the fall of the Assad regime and the decision that ministers of the salvation government will serve in the same roles in the transitional government until March 2025, Abdul Aziz began serving as minister of economy and foreign trade in the Syrian transitional government under prime minister Mohammed al-Bashir. In his new role, he announced plans to implement market liberalization reforms, including dismantling the existing import-export control system and moving toward a free-market economic model. During a meeting with the Damascus Chambers of Commerce, he outlined plans to remove restrictions on imports and allow registered businesses to trade more freely.
