Syria Announces 2026 Budget Approval
Syria approved a 2026 budget of approximately $10.5 billion, marking a significant increase from previous years and signaling a push toward economic recovery and reconstruction.
Syria's government has announced the approval of its 2026 budget, set at about $10.5 billion, which represents a substantial rise compared to the previous year's spending. This budget is described as the largest since the civil war began, focusing on reconstruction, restoring basic services, supporting displaced populations, and rebuilding critical infrastructure in areas like Aleppo, Idlib, and Homs. The government projects that GDP could reach $60–65 billion in 2026, roughly returning output to pre‑war 2010 levels if the recovery momentum continues. The budget also reflects efforts to attract foreign investment and stabilize public finances as the country seeks to emerge from prolonged economic crisis and regional isolation.
