2This post is part of our special coverage Syria Protests 2011.Ity lahatsoratra ity dia ampahany amin'ny tatitra manokana ataonay momba ny Hetsi-panoherana ao Syria 2011.
3On Friday 24 June, 2011, Syria marked the 100th day since the start of the country's protest movement.Ny Zoma teo (24/06), nanamarika ny andro faha 100 hatramin'ny nanombohan'ny hetsi-panoherana i Syria.
4Protests every Friday have become almost a ritual.Lasa fomba fanao isaky ny zoma ny hetsi-panoherana.
5But there's another side to the story.Saingy misy endriny hafa ihany koa ilay tantara.
6For 100 days the country's economy has been frozen.Nandritra ny 100 andro dia kofona koa ny toekaren'ny firenena.
7Commerce has halted to a standstill and the coming tourist season does not look good.Tsy nandroso tsy nihemotra ny toekarena ary ny vanim-potoanan'ny fizahantany vao mitsidika io dia tsy mamelom-panantenana.
8In addition to that, thousands of frightened Syrians have been changing their savings from Syrian pounds to US dollars or Euros, putting an enormous pressure on the Syrian pound. Syrian pounds.Fanampin'izany, an'aliny ireo Siriana velon'ahiahy ka namadika ny tahiriny hiala amin'ny “Syrian pounds” hanjary dolara amerikana na Euros, nahatonga ny vola Siriana hizaka tsindry mavesatra.

10In fact for a period of 48 hours in the beginning of April, the pound lost almost 10 per cent of its value, sparking fears of an eminent meltdown. Meltdown threat?Ny marina dia tao anatin'ny 48 ora voalohany tamin'ny volana Aprily, very 10 isan-jato tamin'ny sandany teo aloha ny vola Siriana, niteraka tahotra ny amin'ny hisian'ny fitotongànana goavana.
11The Syrian Central Bank has been successful so far in keeping the currency from dangerous devaluation.Hatreto aloha dia tafavoaka velona ihany ny banky foibe Siriana amin'ny fitazonana ny sandam-bola tsy hitotongana.
12But with the new measures announced by the president in hist first speech in March; raising salaries, and raising the state's oil subsidies, and without any significant tax income, many have been pondering the possibility that the country might go bankrupt.Saingy noho ilay fepetra vaovao nambaran'ny filoha nandritra ny kabariny voalohany tamin'ny Martsa; fampiakarana karama, fampiakarana ny famatsiam-bolan'ny fanjakana amin'ny vidin-tsolika, ary ny tsy fisian'ny hetra miditra sy efa zara raha misy, be no mihevitra fa mety ho tonga amin'ny tsy fananam-bola ny firenena.
13Many in the opposition are even working hard towards that goal.Maro amin'ireo ao anatin'ny fanoherana aza no miafa mafy hahatongavana amin'izany.
14Their argument is that an economic meltdown will deal a fatal blow to the regime, and will make everybody turn against him.Ny tohankevitr'izy ireo dia ny hoe ny fitontonganan'ny toekarena dia ho lefona ivoho hanaisotra ny mpitondra, ary hanosika ny rehetra hifototra hanohitra azy.
15Others, however, are very skeptical of that scenario.Ny sasany, na izany aza, dia kely finoana ihany amin'izay foendri-dalao izay.
16Syrian blogger, nuffsilence, argues such:Ilay Siriana bilaogera, nuffsilence, dia miteny hoe:
17To be honest, I'm not so sure how an economical collapse will help anything.Raha tsorina ny marina, tsy resy lahatra loatra aho hoe fomba hahitàna vonjy ny fanapotehana ara-toekarena.
18If the regime is strong enough to survive the protests, then it may also weather another crisis.Raha matanjaka tsara ny fitondràna miatrika ny hetsi-panoherana, dia mbola mety hanana hery koa izy hiatrehana olana hafa.
19A fall of the regime isn't a sure result were the market to crumble and fall.Ny firodanana'ny fitondràna tsy voatery ho avy amin'ny fitotonganana sy fahapotehan'ny tsena.
20We shouldn't forget that Mugabe and Saddam survived both and more.Tsy tokony hoadinointsika fa Mugabe sy Saddam dia samy nahavita niaina izany ela sy bebe kokoa mihitsy.
21Mugabe, especially, had seen to it that his country's economy was beyond repair, and yet, it didn't inflict much damage on his power grip.Mugabe, indrindra indrindra, dia nahavita nanao izay hamotehana ny toekaren'ny fireneny ka hanjary ho sarotra harenina, kanefa, tsy dia nisy fiantraikany loatra teo amin'ny fifehezany ny fahefana izany.
22Syrian economist, and frequent guest-blogger at Prof. Joshua Landis' Syria Comment, Ehsani, tried to answer these questions about the future of the Syrian economy:Syriana mpahay toekarena, sady matetika no manoratra amin'ny bilaogin'ny Prof. Joshua Landis, Syria Comment, Ehsani, dia niezaka ny hamaly an‘ireto fanontaniana ireto mikasika ny hoavin'ny toekarena Siriana:
23Is bringing down the economy and bankrupting the country a realistic danger?Moa ve tena lozabe tokoa ny famotehana ny toekarena sy ny fanaovana izay tsy hananan'ny firenena vola ?
24And as for the Lira.Ary mikasika ny Lira (Avy amin'ny mpandika: iantsoana ny vola fampiasa any).
25Is there a way to manipulate the currency from outside the country?Misy ve fomba ahafahana mamiravira azy io avy any ivelan'ny firenena?
26Is it technically possible to put pressure on the Lira from governments outside?Azo atao ara-teknika ve izany hoe manao tsindry amin'ny Lira izany ireo governemanta any ivelany?
27On the main economic challenges, he says:Amin'ny fanamby lehibe ho an'ny toekarena dia hoy izy:
28Syria's economic challenge is twofold:Zava-droa loha ny olan'ny toekarena Siriana:
29Some of the commenters however had a more optimistic view of the crisis; Why Discuss says, in his reply to Ehsani:Na izany aza, ny sasany amin'ireo mpitondra fanamarihana dia mba velom-panantenana ihany mommba ilay olana; Why Discuss dia miteny hoe, ao amin'ny valintenin'ny ho an'i Ehsani:
30This is the best time to buy SP!Fotoana mety izao mba hividianana SP!
31I'll do that now.Izany izao no hataoko.
32It gives 9% in the bank, while the Euro is eroding.Hahazoan'ny banky 9% io, raha mitambotsitra ny Euro. Mba fampieritreretana fotsiny.
33Just a thought Contrary to the western countries, Syria never lived beyond its means.Mifanohitra amin'ireo firenena tandrefana, tsy mbola niaina mihitsy mihoatra noho izay azony atoraka i Syria.
34Except for the a few westernized Syrians, usually Syrians are frugal and they are not into the vicious circle of consumerism.Afa-tsy Siriana vitsivitsy nahazo ny fomba tandrefana, raha ny mahazatra, ny Siriana dia zatra mampihatra ny fitsitsiana ary dia tsy tafiditra mihitsy ao anatin'ny faribolan'ny fanjifàna.
35The next few years in Syria won't be worse than Greece or Spain and Portugal, don't you think?Tsy ho sarotra manao ahoana noho ny any Gresy sy Espana ary Portiogaly anefa ny taona ho avy raha ny ao Syria, sa ahoana ho y ianao??
