On 9 February 2013, President Assad changed seven ministers in the cabinet.[13] The cabinet reshuffle included the ministries of oil, finance, social affairs, labor, housing, public works and agriculture.[14]
In July 2016, president Assad issued Decree no. 203 for 2016 which listed the new Syrian government.[15]
The first Hussein Arnous government was formed after 2020 Syrian parliamentary election.[16] A new government was formed after 2021 Syrian presidential election under Hussein Arnous.
