Syria Approves 2026 Budget at $10.5 Billion
Syria’s government has approved a 2026 national budget of about $10.5 billion, marking a major step in post‑war recovery and signaling readiness to reintegrate with international donors and investors.
Syria’s President Ahmad al-Sharaa announced approval of a 2026 fiscal budget amounting to approximately $10.5 billion, nearly triple the previous year’s figure. The move is framed as a cornerstone of economic normalization and reconstruction, enabling the state to pay public‑sector salaries, restore basic services, and rehabilitate critical infrastructure. Officials project GDP could reach between $60 billion and $65 billion by year‑end, comparable to pre‑civil‑war levels, though this depends on sustained security gains and foreign investment. The budget is expected to attract Gulf and international partners, serving as a litmus test for Syria’s reconnection with global financial institutions and markets.
