GCC-Syria economic ties
The move comes amid broader regional reintegration. This week, DP World signed a 30-year concession agreement with Syria’s General Authority for Land and Sea Ports to manage the Port of Tartus. The Dh2.94 billion ($800 million) investment will upgrade the port’s facilities and operations under a Build-Operate-Transfer model.
The World Bank forecasts Syria’s GDP to grow by 1 percent in 2025, following a 1.5 percent contraction in 2024. It cited limited progress due to ongoing asset freezes and restricted banking access.
In June, the IMF conducted its first mission to Syria since 2009, stressing the need for substantial international aid. Meanwhile, the US permanently lifted sanctions targeting Syria’s financial sector, a move Syrian officials called a “historic opportunity” for transparency and integration into the global economy.
