World Bank Predicts Modest Growth for Syria’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP)

The World Bank stated that Syria’s gross domestic product (GDP) is expected to grow by a modest 1% in 2025, following a contraction of 1.5% in 2024. In a statement released Monday, July 7, the World Bank noted that the easing of sanctions offers some positive potential, but overall progress remains limited. It clarified that frozen assets and restricted access to international banking services continue to hinder energy supplies, foreign aid and humanitarian support, trade, and investment.
