The minister also directly linked the work of Syrian organizations in Washington to the process of reconstruction and rebuilding within Syria, a clear indication of an attempt to redirect the efforts of the diaspora toward serving national goals.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>The High Cost<\/b><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Economic development expert Dr. Ali al-Salman told <\/span><b>+963<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that it is impossible to grasp the scale of optimism in al-Shaibani\u2019s statements regarding the lifting of sanctions without understanding the severe damage inflicted on the Syrian economy by these international measures, with the Caesar Act among the most stringent, in addition to European Union sanctions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He added: \u201cThe sanctions led to an almost total paralysis of the Syrian economy, particularly in the energy and financial sectors, causing a severe shortage of fuel and electricity and a sharp rise in their prices. Oil production collapsed, depriving the government of its main source of hard currency. Moreover, financial isolation, the depreciation of the Syrian pound, the withdrawal of foreign banks, and the freezing of the Central Bank\u2019s assets all contributed to a decline in foreign reserves from around 18.5 billion dollars to minimal amounts. Against this backdrop, Minister al-Shaibani\u2019s statements about 2026 as the \u2018year of development\u2019 signal a preparatory phase aimed at consolidating security and political stability as a prelude to economic reconstruction and improved living conditions.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Al-Salman further noted that al-Shaibani\u2019s message is \u201ca call to investors, a clear invitation to the private sector, both domestic and foreign, to start planning and taking initiative, with the promise of a more stable and secure investment environment within about a year. Yet, despite the importance of this optimism for morale, it faces enormous challenges on the ground, most notably securing the vast financial resources needed for reconstruction, especially in the heavily damaged infrastructure sectors such as energy, water, and education.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perhaps the most significant part of the minister\u2019s remarks was his assertion that \u201cthere will be no sanctions on Syria\u201d by that time. According to al-Salman, this statement \u201crests on Damascus\u2019s reading of regional and international developments. The lifting of sanctions, as al-Shaibani hopes, would serve as a vital oxygen injection for the Syrian economy, enabling reintegration into the global financial system, facilitating foreign investment, and liberating vital sectors such as energy, transport, and banking. This, the minister believes, is the key to making 2026 the year of development.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Read also: <a href=\"https:\/\/963media.com\/en\/09\/11\/2025\/syria-in-the-global-coalition-partnership-against-terror-or-political-containment\/#\">Syria in the Global Coalition: Partnership Against Terror or Political Containment?<\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Linking Washington-Based Organizations to Reconstruction<\/b><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Political analyst Najm al-Abdullah told <\/span><b>+963<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that Minister al-Shaibani\u2019s reference to connecting the work of Syrian organizations in Washington to the reconstruction of Syria reflects the transitional government\u2019s desire to politicize the activities of non-governmental organizations and the Syrian diaspora. Through this approach, Damascus seeks to channel funding toward domestic development projects instead of what it perceives as \u201coppositional\u201d or \u201cnon-productive\u201d activities, making reconstruction a precondition for engagement with any external party interested in Syrian affairs. This places such organizations before two difficult choices: either engage in the rebuilding process under government terms or remain outside the circle of influence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Al-Abdullah considers al-Shaibani\u2019s statements a declaration of intent marking the beginning of a new phase characterized by economic development and the breaking of international isolation. Nevertheless, the issue of lifting sanctions remains contingent upon complex geopolitical factors, most notably the conditional stance of the United States and the European Union, which still demand political reforms yet to materialize. Despite the ongoing economic and political challenges, the government\u2019s promise of \u201c2026 as the year of development\u201d stands as a roadmap for the coming phase and a test of its ability to turn optimism into tangible reality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Asaad al-Shaibani, Minister of Foreign Affairs in the Syrian interim government, presented his vision for the near future, affirming that \u201c2026 will be the year of development for Syria.\u201d At the same time, he predicted the lifting of international sanctions on the country.
