Syrian will cost 10 times to the country’s GDP to rebuild
The civil war of SyriaIt lasted for almost 15 years, ending in early December. Got a group of HTS Overthrow the dictatorial rule Bashar al-Assad After the surprising attack, it was regulated by the country. However, this new government follows the enormous challenge: rebuilding the devastating economy by war.
Analysts estimate that the country’s reconstruction cost will take 10 years and cost between $ 250 billion and $ 400 billion. The lowest estimate is ten times more adapted to the current GDP, although the measurement in recent years is inaccurate, as the country’s lack of international access and the lack of Assad government control in the entire Syria territory.
These numbers were impressive: more than half of the country’s population, 21 million people had to leave their homes, towards other parts of Syria or other countries. According to the World Bank data, the destruction of physical structures caused by war, and the separation of civil and service networks, and the GDP of Syria, to 85% between 2011 and 2023.
In 2018, Syria was considered a poor country and was very existed in the country before the war, he reached one of four Syrians in 2022. In recent years, international companies have no longer expected data.
After the earthquake that hit the country at the beginning of 2023, the situation was even worse. The Syrian pound fell more than 140% compared to the dollar, and inflation fell 100% annually, which fed up with a more serious financial crisis, which contributed to the rebellion against the uneven rule.
Lack of food
“There is no agricultural ability to feed the population. One of the main pillars of the Syrian economy is now 25%of it,” said Samuel Feldburg, the academic director of the Stand Vitas and the Academic Director of Moses Dayan Center of Tell Aviv University.
Feldburg believes that strong currency, tourism and two important resources of oil are limited. Tourism, for obvious reasons and in the areas where the Kurds live in the Kurds, which fought against the Assad rule, and still need to be re -merged into the country, thus providing irrigated water to the national economy.
The restoration of the economy may pass through some ways. The renovation of roads, buildings and other structures brings the economic movement, but it requires external sources or funds. If oil revenues and status are controlled, it may help.
Some of the Syrian refugees are also expected to return to the country and bring their personal economies in addition to their labor force. The start of the re -umption is also suitable for the return of agricultural production in fertile areas of Syria. “There is a huge capacity, but the question is whether there is a necessary owe to owe it,” Feldburg said.
The new government should also face the debts left by Assad Management. Only for Iran, the billion has an account of 30 billion.
