Syria’s post-war economic recovery will require ‘substantial’ international support, IMF says
- The IMF conducted a five-day visit to Syria in early June 2025, assessing its post-war economic situation and institutional needs.
- Syria's recovery follows a decade of conflict that began with protests in 2011 and ended with Assad's ousting in December 2024.
- In recent weeks, Syria signed over $8 billion in infrastructure deals, including a $7 billion power project by Qatari-Turkish-American firms, and began reconnecting to global markets.
- IMF officials noted that Syria is dealing with significant difficulties after prolonged conflict that led to widespread hardship and a severe contraction of its economy, while also recognizing the strong dedication of local finance ministry and central bank staff.
- Substantial international support remains critical for Syria to rebuild essential institutions, stabilize its economy, and sustain its reintegration into regional and global systems.
