Version history

The register keeps changing after the book is fixed in print. Each entry below was added to this row in the order shown.

  1. VERIFIED AT THE TABLE: inflation 129.9 per cent in 2023, 72.1 in 2024 and 11.5 in 2025; fiscal balance minus 7.7 per cent of GDP in 2023, minus 5.1 in 2024 and PLUS 1.4 IN 2025; real GDP growth 0.3, 0.9 and a 2.0 to 4.0 range. All rows are marked provisional and may diverge from official projections. A LIVE TRAP, AND IT IS THIS BOOK'S OWN SUBJECT ARRIVING IN ITS OWN MATERIALS. The World Bank's FISCAL BALANCE is plus 1.4 per cent of GDP IN 2025. SRC-137's SCPR finding is that TOTAL SUBSIDIES TURNED INTO A NET SURPLUS of 1.4 per cent of GDP IN 2024. TWO DIFFERENT QUANTITIES, ON TWO DIFFERENT YEARS, SHARING THE NUMERAL 1.4. Placed side by side without measure and year they read as corroboration and are not. Every use of either states measure, year and publisher, and the two are never joined. AN ABSENCE, SCOPED: the earlier manuscript attributes 'revenue collection under 5 per cent of GDP' to this document. IT IS NOT IN IT. The Syria page runs to two pages and its table carries five indicators only, with no revenue-to-GDP row and no such figure in the narrative. Searched for 'revenue', 'percent of GDP' and '5'. That is an absence in this document, not an absence in the world, and the claim cannot be printed until the document that carries it is opened.
  2. D-304/D-307 series corrections (05), 18 October 2026: READING OF 18 OCTOBER 2026 (series corrections, unit 05, Chapter 5 v80) ON D-304 ITEM 9 A2, MPO-1, MPO-3 AND MPO-4. (1) CLAIMS: this row is relied on by Chapter 12 l.47 and by the chart CH05-SURPLUS-PARTS as well as by Chapter 5 (v80 l.125 and l.131); the Claims column is amended in the same pass (see the unit's register_column_edits.json). (2) THE BANK RESTATED THIS TABLE IN ITS OCTOBER 2026 EDITION AT THE SAME ADDRESS (new row, World Bank, Macro Poverty Outlook, Syrian Arab Republic, October 2026): fiscal balance -2.9, -2.7 and 0.2 per cent of GDP for 2023 to 2025, source line "[quotation withheld, 9 words; follow the citation]", no provisional mark. This row stays the April edition, which Chapter 5 v80 l.125 keeps with its provisional hedge and which l.131 now names ('the World Bank's April edition'); the October figures enter only as a dated post-closing reading. EDITION-REPLACED SOURCE: re-fetch and compare the SHA-256 before any closing date is fixed. (3) THE ABSENCE NOTE ABOVE, "[quotation withheld, 13 words; follow the citation]", IS DISCHARGED: the documents that carry 'less than 5 percent of GDP' are the P512516 PID, PAD and press release (new rows), opened 16 and 18 October 2026. "IT IS NOT IN IT" stays true of this document.
  3. D-304/D-307 series corrections (12), 18 October 2026: READING OF 18 OCTOBER 2026 (unit S3, D-304 item 9 A2; MPO-4): page 2 re-opened, 'Recent history and projections 2023p 2024p 2025p'; 'Fiscal balance (% of GDP) -7.7 -5.1 1.4'; 'p = figures are provisional, may be subject to revision and may diverge from official projections.' The row's Claims column reads 'CH5 fiscal; FISCAL-001; issue 14' and omits Chapter 12 l.47 (plus 1.4 per cent in 2025, beside the ministry's 0.15) and the chart CH05-SURPLUS-PARTS, both of which rest on this edition; Claims should add them. The Bank's October 2026 edition (the new row proposed by unit S3 as SRC-793) restates the table at -2.9, -2.7 and 0.2 for 2023 to 2025 with no provisional mark and a source line naming the Syrian authorities; this row stays the record of what the Bank printed in April. Chapter 12 l.47 (v39) prints both, the October edition as a dated reading after the closing date.
  4. 18 October 2026, correction to the append above (REVIEW_08_11_12 R12-1): when that append was written, the Claims column already carried 'Chapter 12 l.47; chart CH05-SURPLUS-PARTS' (amended with Chapter 5 v80, commit f063bc66), and SRC-793 was already the registered row for the October 2026 edition, added with Chapter 5 v80. The statements that Claims omits them and that SRC-793 is 'proposed' are withdrawn; the rest of the append stands.
  5. 19 October 2026 (closing pass 2, lift sweep): LIFTED, the bars 'the October figures enter only as a dated post-closing reading' and 'the October edition as a dated reading after the closing date' are lifted by the closing date of 18 October 2026 (D-315; LABELS class A): the October edition, read 16 October 2026, is a dated reading before the closing date. The re-fetch of 18 October 2026 is byte-identical (SRC-793; K05 basis, line 125). Chapter 12 v40 and Chapter 5 v81 print it dated, without the closing-date label.
