Syria, with a population of about 18 million and a GDP of approximately $70 billion in 2023, faces significant economic challenges due to ongoing conflict. The per capita income is around $4,000. The economy is primarily driven by agriculture, oil, and services. 

Despite the ongoing conflict, there are potential opportunities for foreign direct investment (FDI) in agriculture and reconstruction efforts. Economic development is hindered by political instability and the impact of international sanctions.
