Inflation has surged dramatically, while corruption and deteriorating living conditions have pushed standards of living to extremely low levels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The country faces an urgent need to lift international sanctions and launch a comprehensive reconstruction plan to revive its devastated infrastructure. Critical sectors such as electricity, water, communications, and transportation remain in dire condition after more than a decade of war that left much of the country in ruins.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the Washington-based Specialised Energy platform, the electricity sector alone has suffered direct losses estimated at $40 billion, with indirect damages exceeding $80 billion. The water sector has also sustained heavy damage, amounting to $1.2 billion, with widespread loss of access to clean water.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The education sector is in crisis as well. Recent official government figures reveal that at least 10,000 out of Syria\u2019s 20,000 schools have been damaged. Of these, 70% are completely demolished, while many others are in such poor condition that they no longer meet even the most basic standards for education.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both Syrians at home and abroad are looking to the future with hope, anticipating improvements in infrastructure, security, and living conditions, provided that international restrictions are lifted and global and regional institutions begin providing the necessary support.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a special interview featured in the seventh issue of the printed edition of <\/span><b>+963<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Syrian researcher Salam al-Kawakibi, Director of the Arab Center for Studies and Policy Research in Paris, spoke about the complexities of reconstruction, the role of the Syrian diaspora, and which international partners the new Syrian administration may rely on to rebuild the country&#8217;s economic foundations.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Planning for Reconstruction<\/b><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe reconstruction process in Syria has become one of the most urgent and complex issues today,\u201d al-Kawakibi said. \u201cBut we cannot talk about reconstruction without first achieving broad political and security stability.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He emphasised that only once this stability is in place can Syrian, Arab, and international investors feel confident entering the Syrian market. \u201cReconstruction must be planned by the state itself, as it best understands the country\u2019s needs. Personal and self-serving interests from certain political blocs must not interfere,\u201d he added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/963media.com\/en\/21\/04\/2025\/rebuilding-syria-the-rise-of-women-from-the-margins-to-leadership\/\">Rebuilding Syria: The Rise of Women from the Margins to Leadership<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this special interview featured in the seventh issue of the printed edition of <\/span><b>+963<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, we asked Salam al-Kawakibi more in-depth questions; here is a glimpse of them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>The reconstruction process in Syria has become one of the most urgent and complex issues today. What do you think is the best strategy for approaching the issue of reconstruction?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reconstruction cannot begin without first achieving general political and security stability. Once that foundation is in place, Syrian, Arab, and international investors can enter the market and participate in rebuilding efforts. However, this process must be carefully planned by the state itself, as it is the only entity capable of truly assessing the country&#8217;s needs. Any interference from interest-driven groups or blocs must be avoided to ensure the process remains focused on national priorities rather than personal or political gain.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>The international community seems reluctant to fund Syria&#8217;s reconstruction. What is the reason?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not at all. The international community is not hesitant about the reconstruction process in Syria, but it has set clear conditions, repeated several times, focused on political participation, the nature of the governance system, the role of women, and regional relations. There are also more complex conditions imposed by dominant powers, especially the United States, which go beyond those set by European or Western countries.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>What is the role of the Syrian immigrant private sector, and what are the reasons for the failure of Syrian expatriate businessmen to contribute to rebuilding their country\u2019s crumbling economy?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Syrian diaspora has an essential role to play in rebuilding Syria, but its members are primarily concerned with profits and their current places of residence and investment. As the saying goes, \u201ccapital is a coward\u201d; they will not invest in an unclear and unstable environment, especially amid policy confusion and an uncertain political landscape, all of which are interlinked.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>To what extent can we say that ongoing U.S. sanctions on Syria are a decisive factor in regional and international efforts to support Syria\u2019s reconstruction?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">American sanctions have effectively halted all initiatives, including the most recent European attempt, when European countries agreed to suspend major sanctions on Syria for a full year. However, this had no real impact, as the United States maintains tight control over international banking transactions, particularly through the SWIFT system based in New York. This has blocked any financial transfers, such as Qatar\u2019s failed attempt to send salaries to Syrian employees, an effort thwarted by Washington\u2019s refusal to ease banking sanctions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As I mentioned, U.S. conditions differ from those of Western nations. Washington is not focused on democracy, integration, or women\u2019s rights. What matters most to the Trump administration is ensuring Israel\u2019s security and meeting the demands of Israel\u2019s current far-right government, which seeks open access to Syrian airspace and the removal of weapons from border regions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It now appears that there is a share for Turkey and another for the Gulf states in reconstruction. Which countries will the new Syrian administration rely on to rebuild the country&#8217;s economic system?<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Turkey is expected to play a leading role in Syria\u2019s reconstruction, thanks to its strong construction sector, geographic proximity, and well-established bilateral relations. Turkey will likely secure the \u201clion\u2019s share\u201d of reconstruction projects, which will be financed by Gulf states.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the Syrian government must diversify its reconstruction partnerships, both in terms of technical support and financial backing. All relevant regional and international stakeholders must stay informed about developments in Syria to help preserve stability and prevent any destructive interference in what we hope will be a democratic transformation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More than four months after the fall of the Assad regime, Syria continues to grapple with a host of pressing challenges, chief among them a struggling economy still reeling from the compounded crises of recent years.
