Fawwaz Hilal (Arabic: فواز هلال, romanized: Fawwāz Hilāl) is a Syrian politician and economist serving as the governor of Aleppo since December 17 2024. He previously served as the second Prime Minister of the Syrian Salvation Government from December 2018 until November 2019.
Biography
Hilal was born in 1966 in Anadan. He studied at the University of Aleppo, where he obtained a BA in economics in 1990, followed by a postgraduate diploma in international relations in 1993. He then held various positions in the fields of economics and administrative development, working in Syria and the Gulf states. Following the outbreak of the Syrian civil war in 2011, Hilal sided with the Syrian opposition and joined the Free Aleppo Governorate Council, serving as the director of its financial office and then as the head of its economic office. Between 2013 and 2017, he served as the director of the Aleppo branch of the Food Security Program of the Assistance Coordination Unit, an NGO affiliated with the Syrian Coalition.
In September 2017, Hilal participated in the General Syrian Conference, the civil initiative that led to the formation of the Syrian Salvation Government (SSG). On December 11 2018, the SSG's Constitution Drafting Assembly convened at Bab al-Hawa to elect Hilal as its new prime minister after the resignation of his predecessor, Mohammed al-Sheikh.
On December 17 2024, following the fall of the Assad regime, Ahmed al-Sharaa appointed Hilal as the governor of Aleppo.
