After nearly 14 years of civil war, Syria’s economy is in ruins.
After nearly 14 years of civil war, the Syrian economy has been severely damaged.
Most oil and gas wells, roads, power grids, farmland and infrastructure were damaged.
The economy has been further weakened by widespread Western sanctions on the country and Tahrir al-Sham, the main group that overthrew Bashar al-Assad and is leading Syria’s transition.
The new government says lifting those sanctions is crucial to helping rebuild the country. But will they be removed?
In addition, Ukraine has stopped Russian gas supplies to Europe.
Sales of foreign smartphones in China fell by nearly half.
