The World Bank revealed in a report issued today, Tuesday: “The estimated cost of rebuilding Syria is about 216 billion US dollars after more than thirteen years of conflict.” It noted that “the assessment of physical damages and reconstruction in Syria covers the period between 2011 and 2024.” It affirmed that “the reconstruction process in Syria will require a coordinated international response, including support for public institutions, rehabilitation of vital infrastructure, and improvement of basic services,” pointing out that “unless the root causes of the conflict are addressed.” It added: “The Syrian economy shrank by 1.5 percent during 2024,” expecting “a slight growth of 1 percent in 2025 amidst ongoing security restrictions, liquidity shortages, and the suspension of some external aid.” On June 10th, the International Monetary Fund announced its intention to develop a roadmap for Syrian economic institutions. Since 2011, Syria has witnessed a devastating conflict that has deeply affected all aspects of life and infrastructure, creating a complex reality that requires exceptional solutions. In January, Ahmed Shar’a was announced as the interim president of the country.
