UAE and Syria hold first business forum since Assad's fall | The National
Looks like Syria is quickly re-entering the global economy after years of sanctions! The UAE just held its first business forum there in over a decade, with strong interest from Emirati companies. Major steps include Visa/Mastercard returning after 15 years, a $800 million port deal, and Gulf investments flowing in after legal changes. Reconstruction is estimated at a staggering $216 billion-10 times Syria's 2024 GDP. The focus now is on rebuilding energy, infrastructure, and improving living standards for all Syrians.
