Ask people in Syria about obstacles to economic recovery, and US sanctions will quickly come up. But so will Syria's opaque legal environment and disjointed economic policies. Those can only be solved from within, and there's no need to wait on outsiders synaps.network/en/post/syria-…

What's needed to restart Syria's economy? Sanctions relief, to be sure, but also: 1⃣ functioning property markets 2⃣ clear legal frameworks 3⃣ explicit policies on trade, borders, etc 4⃣ hard data, and channels for sharing it More here, Synaps synaps.network/en/post/syria-…

Important points 👇 Support for Syrian farmers is already weak; more cuts will hurt rural communities and food security. Managing water scarcity means shoring up basic infrastructure and oversight—in a word, restoring the state's role rather than further cutting back on it.

What can Syria expect from sanctions relief? It depends how much Damascus tackles the internal shackles on its economy: corruption, bureaucratic obstruction, lagging legislation, and general uncertainty. Syria must also jumpstart recovery from within. synaps.network/en/post/syria-…

In Syria, a flurry of sanctions relief has sparked both hope and confusion. But one thing is clear: To capitalize on this external opening, Damascus must lift internal barriers to recovery—from a chaotic legal environment to opaque economic policies. synaps.network/en/post/syria-…

ماذا يمكن لسوريا أن تتوقع من رفع العقوبات الاقتصادية؟ يعتمد ذلك على مدى تعامل دمشق مع القيود الداخلية التي تعيق اقتصادها، لا سيما الفساد، والعوائق البيروقراطية، والتشريعات المتخلفة، والغموض السائد. كما يجب على سوريا أن تعيد إطلاق عملية التعافي من الداخل. synaps.network/ar/post/syria-…
