Syria's War-Torn Economy Needs $400B for Recovery

Experts urge a focus on rebuilding institutions, lifting sanctions, and providing international aid to restore stability.

- Housing accounts for 60% of the estimated $400 billion reconstruction cost.
- Syria’s GDP has plummeted, dropping from $61 billion to $8 billion over 14 years, while its poverty rate surged from 12% to 65%.
- Experts call for international support to strengthen Syria’s institutions, alongside lifting sanctions—especially those from the US and EU—once conditions are met.
